62.25%

- Let's start with R's salary. Assume it is 100 units.

- Q's salary is 20% less than R's, so Q earns 80 units.

- P's salary is 20% less than Q's, so P earns 64 units (80 units minus 20% of 80 units).

- We need to find how much more R earns compared to P as a percentage of P's salary.

- Calculate the difference: 100 (R's salary) - 64 (P's salary) = 36 units.

- Find the percentage increase from P's salary to R's: (36 / 64) * 100 = 56.25%.

Option 2, 56.25%, is correct.
