Ques - If A’s income is 40% of B’s income and B’s income is 24% more than C’s income then by what percentage is C’s income more than A’s income? (Your answer should be correct to one decimal )(SSC CPO 2019, 09.12.2019 Shift-2)

(a) 75.6

(b) 101.6

(c) 104.2

(d) 50.4

Solution -  Let,

C = 100

B = C + (24/100 *C)

B = 100 + (24/100*100)

B = 124

A = 40% of B

A = (40/100*124)

A = 49.6

A/C

C's income is more than A's income in percentage = 100 - 49.6

                                                                        = 50.4

                                                                        = (50.4/49.6*100)

                                                                        = 101.6

Hence, 

The correct option is (b)101.6%
