Q. Vicky's salary is 75% more than Ashu's. Vicky got a raise of 40% on his salary while Ashu got a raise of 25% on his salary. By what percent is Vicky's salary more than Ashu's?

(A) 96%
(B) 51.1%
(C) 90%
(D) 52.1%

Correct Answer - Option(A)

Explanation by: Sandeep

Let Ashu's salary = 100; Ashu's salary after rise = 125
Then Vicky's salary = 175
Vicky's salary after rise of 40% = 245
[As 10% of Vicky's salary is 17.5 then 40% = 17.5 × 4 = 70]

Difference between Vicky's salary and Ashu's salary = 245 - 125 = 120
% more Vicky's salary than Ashu's = (120×100)/125=96%
