Correct Answer: 37.5%


Solution : Given: The salary of Mohit is 60 percent more than Vijay's.
$\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{The larger value}}\times 100$
Let the Vijay's salary be INR 100.
Mohit's salary = 100 + 60% of 100 = 100 + 60 = INR 160
The salary of Vijay and less than Mohit's,
⇒ $\frac{160–100}{160}\times 100=\frac{60}{160}\times 100=37.5$%
Hence, the correct answer is 37.5%.
