Step-by-Step Solution

Take Chirag's salary as ₹100. Bharat gets 25% less, ₹75, and Anwar gets 20% more than that, = ₹90 — that is 90% of Chirag's. (Adding and subtracting the percentages as 100 + 20 − 25 = 95 treats both as though they were measured on Chirag's salary. Reading the second sentence backwards, as though Chirag's were 25% less than Bharat's, makes Bharat ₹125 and Anwar ₹150.)
Answer: B) 90
