Quantitative Aptitude ( CCS) Percentage

Mother's weight is 25 % more than that of daughter. What percent is daughter's weight less than mother's weight?

10%

15%

20%

25%

Let daughter's weight be 100 kg.

Then mother's weight = (100 + 25) kg = 125 kg

If mother's weight is 125 kg, then daughter's weight is 100 kg.

If mother's weight is 1 kg, then daughter's weight is 100/125 kg

If mother's weight is 100 kg, then daughter's weight = (100/125 × 100) kg

Therefore, daughter's weight is 20 % less than that of mother.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
