SSC MTS 18th July 2022 Shift-1
Explanation:
- The original salaries: Let Aman's original salary be 100. Then Amit's original salary is 75 (75% of 100).
- After increments: Amit's salary increases by 40%, so his new salary is 75 * 1.40 = 105. Aman's salary increases by 10%, so his new salary is 100 * 1.10 = 110.
- Calculation: The new salary of Aman is 110, and the new salary of Amit is 105.
- Difference: The difference is 110 - 105 = 5.
- Percentage difference: The percentage by which Aman's salary is more than Amit's is (5/105) * 100 ˜ 4.76%.
Option 4: 4.8% is approximately correct.
