By what percent are the Arrears of Amit and Suresh taken together less than the Arrears of Nitin and Varun taken together?

Options:

1.4

1.2

1.5

1.6

Correct Answer:

1.6

Explanation:

Sum of Arrears of Amit and Suresh = 6000 + 6300 = 12300

Sum of Arrears of Nitin and Varun = 5000 + 7500 = 12500

Required percentage = \(\frac{12500 - 12300 }{12500}\) × 100

= \(\frac{200}{12500}\) × 100

= 1.6%
