Question:

If the income tax is increased by 20%.  Then the net income is decreased by 5%.  Find the rate of income tax.

Options:

25%

19%

20%

15%

Correct Answer:

20%

Explanation:

Here,

Net Income × 5% = Tax × 20%

Net Income × 1 = Tax × 4

Net income = 4R,  Tax = 1R

So, Gross Income =  net income + tax = 4 + 1 = 5

Income tax rate = \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 100 = 20%
