Question:
The income of Amala is 20% more than that of Bimala and 20% less than that of Kamala. If Kamala's income goes down by 4% and Bimala's goes up by 10%, then the percentage by which Kamala's income would exceed Bimala's is nearest to
- 31
- 28
- 32
- 29
Correct Answer: Option: 1
Let the income of Bimla be Rs. 100
Amla’s income = 1.2*100 = Rs. 120
Also, Amla’s income = $\frac{4}{5}\times$ Kamla’s income
Therefore, Kamla’s income = $\frac{5}{4}\times 120$=Rs. 150
Kamala's new income with 4% decrease = 0.96×150 =Rs. 144
Bimla’s new income with 10% increase = 1.1×100= Rs. 110
Required percentage increase = $\left( \frac{144-110}{110} \right)\times 100\approx 31%$
