Solution : Given: The salary of Amit is 75% of the salary of Aman. The salary of Amit increases by 40% and the salary of Aman increases by 10%. Let Aman's original salary as 100 So, Amit's original salary = 100 × $\frac{75}{100}$ = 75 After the increases, Aman's salary becomes 100 × $\frac{110}{100}$ = 110 and Amit's salary becomes 75 × $\frac{140}{100}$ = 105 The percentage by which Aman's new salary is more than Amit's new salary, $=\frac{{\text{New value} - \text{Old value}}}{\text{Old value}} \times 100)$ $=\frac{110-105}{105}×100$ $=\frac{100}{21}=4.76\approx4.8$% Hence, the correct answer is 4.8%.
