Ram and Shyam each saved Rs. 3,000 in 1989. In 1990, Ram saved 8% more than in 1989 and together he and Shyam saved a total of Rs. 5,000. Approximately what percent less did Shyam save in 1990 than in 1989? Correct Answer 41%

Ram and Shyam each saved Rs. 3,000 in 1989.

In 1990, Ram saved 8% more than in 1989 and together he and Shyam saved a total of Rs. 5,000.

8% of Rs. 3,000 is (8/100 × 3,000) = Rs. 240

So, Ram saved Rs. (3,000 + 240) = Rs. 3240 in 1990

And, Shyam saved Rs. (5,000 – 3,240) = Rs. 1,760

Difference in Shyam’s saving in  1990 than in 1989 = Rs. (3,000 – 1,760) = 1,240

Percent less did Shyam save in 1990 than in 1989 = 1,240/3,000 × 100 = 41.34%

41.34% is approximately equal to 41%.

Hence, ‘41%’ is the correct answer.
