Answer 1

Given:

Ravi's income = 24% more than Ram's income

Formula used:

Percentage decrease = \(\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Ravi's income}} \times 100\)

Calculation:

Let Ram's income = ₹100

Ravi's income = ₹100 + 24% of ₹100 = ₹100 + ₹24 = ₹124

Difference = ₹124 - ₹100 = ₹24

Percentage decrease = \(\frac{24}{124} \times 100\)

⇒ Percentage decrease = \(\frac{600}{31}\)%

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
