Hi,

One should check the value in terms of absolute terms unless mentioned.

Hope this helps.

But isn't is wrong as the percentage will give true' picture

Hi again,

Yes, the percentage will give a true picture but however that is not what is asked in the question.

For example, let's say you have 100 Rs and your friend has 90 Rs, after playing a game you and your friend are left with Rs 80 and Rs 70.

Both of you have lost the same amount of money i.e Rs 20 but however, you have lost 20 % of the amount and your friend has lost 22.22%.

Hence once should be careful while answering these kinds of questions.

Hi Debadree ,
If we expect the difference to be calculated as a percentage it would be mentioned separately since nothing has been mentioned you can take the direct difference.
Hope this helps.
