    The income of Neha is 60% more than that of Riya. If both

    A 62.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 45.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 75.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 82.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the income of Riya be Rs. 100x.

    So, income of Neha = 1.6 × 100x = Rs. 160x

    Expenditure of Riya = 0.7 × 100x = Rs. 70x

    Expenditure of Neha = 0.7 × 160x = Rs. 112x

    Therefore, required percentage = (70x / 112x) × 100 = (625 / 10)% = 62.5%
