A’s salary is 10% more than that of B and 15% less than that of C. if B’s salary is 25% more than that of D’s salary, then by what percent C’s salary is less than or greater than that of D’s salary? Correct Answer <p>62% More</p>

Let D’s salary be x

Salary of B = x + (25/100) × x = 5x/4

Salary of A = (5x/4) + (10/100) × (5x/4) = 11x/8

Let salary of C be k

Salary of A = k – (15/100) × k = 85k/100

⇒ 85k/100 = 11x/8

⇒ k = 11x/8 × (100/85) = 1.62x

∴ Percentage C’s salary greater than that of D = (1.62x – x)/x × 100 = 62%
