Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

If B's salary is xx

Then A's salary is x+33.33100x=133.33x100x + \frac{33.33}{100}x = \frac{133.33x}{100}

To find how much less B earns than A:

A−BA×100=33.33100x133.33100x×100\frac{A-B}{A} × 100 = \frac{\frac{33.33}{100}x}{\frac{133.33}{100}x} × 100

=33.33133.33×100= \frac{33.33}{133.33} × 100

=25%= 25\%

Therefore, B earns 25% less than A.

In a simple manner so you can understand better:

If B earns ₹100₹100, A earns ₹133.33₹133.33

Difference = 33.3333.33

Percentage less = 33.33133.33×100=25%\frac{33.33}{133.33} × 100 = 25\%
