Vicky's salary is 75% more than Ashu's. Vicky got a raise of 40% on his salary while Ashu got a raise of 25% on his salary. By what percent is Vicky's salary more than Ashu's?

Answer: Option A

Let Ashu's salary = 100; Ashu's salary after rise = 125
Then Vicky's salary = 175
Vicky's salary after rise of 40% = 245
[As 10% of Vicky's salary is 17.5 then 40% = 17.5 × 4 = 70]

Difference between Vicky's salary and Ashu's salary = 245 - 125 = 120
% more Vicky's salary than Ashu's = $$\frac{120\times 100}{125}=96\%$$
