Correct Answer – Option 2 : 20%
Given:
A is 25% more than B.
Formula Used:
Percentage = \(\frac{{increased\;value}}{{value\;of\;A\;}} \times 100\)
Calculation:
Let the value of B be x.
Then the value of A be \(x \times \frac{{100 + 25}}{{100}}\) = 1.25x
B less than A = 1.25x – x = 0.25x
% B less than A = \(\frac{{0.25x}}{{1.25x}} \times 100\) = 20%
Therefore, B less than A by 20%.
