Answer:

^@25.93\%^@

Step by Step Explanation:
  1. Let B's income be ^@₹ 100^@.

    Then, A's income = ^@₹ 135^@.

    If A's income is ^@₹ 135^@, then B's income = ^@₹ 100^@.

    If A's income is ^@₹ 100^@, then B's income = ^@₹ \bigg( \dfrac { 100 } { 135 } \times 100 \bigg) = ₹ 74.07 ^@.
  2. Thus, if A's income is ^@₹ 100^@, then B's income = ^@₹ 74.07^@.

    Therefore, B's income is less than that of A by ^@ \dfrac { (100 - 74.07) } { 100 } \times 100\% =25.93\%^@.

    Hence, B's income is less than that of A by ^@25.93\%^@.
