Ram’s income is 25% more than that of Mohan and Mohan’s income is 20% more than that of Suresh. Then the income of Ram is what percent more than that of Suresh: Correct Answer 50%

Formula:

If x% increase any value, then increase value = Actual value ×

Calculation:

Let Suresh’s income be Rs. 100x

Mohan’s income = 100x × (120/100) = Rs. 120x

Ram’s income = Rs. 120x × (125/100) = Rs. 150x

Ram’s income is more than that of Suresh = Rs. 150x – Rs. 100x = Rs. 50x

∴ Ram’s income is more than that of Suresh (in %) = × 100 = 50%
