Let us assume Mohan’s income be ‘P’ and Raman’s income be ‘Q’
From the question it is given that,
Mohan’s income is 25% more than Raman’s income i.e. x = y + 25% of y
x = y + (25/100) y
x = y (1 + (25/100))
x = y ((100 + 25)/100)
x = y(125/100)
Then, the difference between both the income is = (125/100)y – (25/100)y
So,
Raman’s income as compared to Mohan’s income,
= (difference)/ (Mohan’s income) × 100
= ((25y/100)/(125y/100)) × 100
= (25/125) × 100
= 20%
