Question Explanation
Text ExplanationVideo Explanation
Assuming the income of Bimla = 100a, then the income of Amala will be 120a.
And the income of Kamala will be 120a*100/80=150a
If Kamala's income goes down by 4%, then new income of Kamala = 150a-150a(4/100) = 150a-6a=144a
If Bimla's income goes up by 10 percent, her new income will be 100a+100a(10/100)=110a
=> Hence the Kamala income will exceed Bimla income by (144a-110a)*100/110a=31
