Raj = 100 then Raj = 80.

Raj more by 100 – 80 = 20

%more than Raj = 20/80 × 100 = 25

Let Raj's height be x x .

Then, Rohan's height will be 0.8 x 0.8x ( x 0.2 x = 0.8 x x - 0.2x = 0.8x )

The question asks By how many percentages is Raj's height bigger than Rohan's . What that basically means is that we should consider this proportion:

0.8 x x = 100 % ? \frac{0.8x}{x}=\frac{100\%}{?}

From that we get:

? = x × 100 % 0.8 x = 125 % ?=\frac{x\times100\%}{0.8x}=125\%

And now we do the last step:

= 125 % 100 % = 25 % = 125\% - 100\% = \boxed{25\%}

Let Raj's Height be 100cm

Then, Rohan's height= 80 100 × 100 = 80 c m \frac{80}{100} \times 100 = 80cm

% \% by which Raj's Height is more than Rohan's = 100 80 80 × 100 = 20 80 × 100 = 25 % \frac{100-80}{80} \times 100 = \frac{20}{80}\times 100 = 25\%
