    B 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 50% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let Rajiv’s salary = 100 units. Anil’s salary is 20% less than Rajiv’s: Anil’s salary = 100 − 20% of 100 = 100 − 20 = 80 units Now, Rajiv’s salary is how much more than Anil’s, in percent? Difference = 100 − 80 = 20 Percent more = (Difference ÷ Anil’s salary) × 100 = (20 ÷ 80) × 100 = 1/4 × 100 = 25% Answer: Rajiv’s salary is 25% more than Anil’s.
