Options:

D is 10.4% more than A.

A is 54% less than C.

B is 36% less than D.

C is 60% more than B.

Correct Answer:

D is 10.4% more than A.

Explanation:

Let , D = 100x

C = 100x × $\frac{160}{100}$ = 160x

B = 160x × $\frac{40}{100}$ = 64x

A = 64x × $\frac{140}{100}$ = 89.6x

A is less than D by = $\frac{100x - 89.6x}{100x}$ × 100 = 10.4%
