Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's assume Ashu's salary is 100 units.
  2. According to the problem, Ram's salary is 75% more than Ashu's. So, Ram's salary is 100 + 75 = 175 units.
  3. Ram got a raise of 40% on his salary. So, his new salary is 175 + 0.40*175 = 245 units.
  4. Ashu got a raise of 25% on his salary. So, his new salary is 100 + 0.25*100 = 125 units.
  5. Now, we need to find out by what percentage is Ram’s salary more than Ashu’s. The difference between their salaries is 245 - 125 = 120 units.
  6. To find out the percentage, we divide the difference by Ashu's salary and multiply by 100. So, the percentage is (120/125)*100 = 96%.

So, the correct answer is 96%.
