Correct Answer :

Option D

4 16 21 %

Solution :

The correct option is Option 4: 41621%.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let the income of Monica be ₹ 100.

Since the income of Neha is 5% more than that of Monica, we can calculate Neha's income as follows:

Neha's Income=100+5=105

Now, we need to find how much percentage Monica's income is less than Neha's income.

The difference between Neha's income and Monica's income is:

Difference=105-100=5

To find the required percentage difference with respect to Neha's income:

Percentage Less=DifferenceNeha's Income×100

Percentage Less=5105×100

Simplifying the fraction:

Percentage Less=121×100=10021%

Converting 10021 into a mixed fraction:

100÷21=4 with a remainder of 16

Therefore, the percentage by which Monica's income is less than Neha's income is:

41621%
