49.8

- Let's assign values to B and calculate accordingly.

- Suppose B = 100 (for ease of calculation).

- A is 48% more than B, so A = 100 + 48 = 148.

- The sum of A and B is 100 + 148 = 248.

- C is 60% less than the sum of A and B, so C = 248 - (0.6 * 248) = 248 - 148.8 = 99.2.

- To find out how much percentage A is more than C:

- Calculate the difference: A - C = 148 - 99.2 = 48.8.

- Percentage more = (48.8 / 99.2) * 100 = 49.2%.

- 49.2% is the percentage more, which corresponds to Option 2.
