Given:

Salary of A is 25% more than B.

Formula used:

Percentage increase = (Increase / Original Value) × 100

Percentage decrease = (Decrease / Original Value) × 100

Calculation:

Let the salary of B be ₹100.

Salary of A = 100 + 25% of 100 = 100 + 25 = ₹125

Difference in salary = 125 - 100 = ₹25

Percentage by which B's salary is less than A's salary = (Difference / A's salary) × 100

= (25 / 125) × 100

= (1/5) × 100

= 20%

∴ The salary of B is 20% less than A.
