The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to determine by what percentage Subhash's salary is more than Manoj's salary, given that Manoj's salary is 40% less than Subhash's salary. ### Step 1: Define the Salaries Let the salary of Subhash be represented as \( S \). ### Step 2: Calculate Manoj's Salary Since Manoj's salary is 40% less than Subhash's salary, we can express Manoj's salary \( M \) as: \[ M = S - 0.4S = 0.6S \] ### Step 3: Find the Difference in Salaries Now, we need to find the difference between Subhash's salary and Manoj's salary: \[ \text{Difference} = S - M = S - 0.6S = 0.4S \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Percentage Increase To find out by how much percentage Subhash's salary is more than Manoj's salary, we use the formula for percentage increase: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{Difference}}{M} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{0.4S}{0.6S} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Expression The \( S \) in the numerator and denominator cancels out: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{0.4}{0.6} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{4}{6} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{2}{3} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Final Percentage Now, calculating \( \frac{2}{3} \times 100 \): \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = 66.67\% \text{ (or } 66 \frac{2}{3}\% \text{)} \] ### Conclusion Thus, Subhash's salary is \( 66 \frac{2}{3}\% \) more than Manoj's salary. ---
