Let Rauf's income = X
So Raheel's income = X + (25X/100) =125X/100
Difference between their incomes = %28125X%29%2F100-X
i.e. %28125X-100X%29%2F100
i.e. 25X/100
So Rauf's income is less than Raheel's income by %28%2825X%2F100%29%2F%28125X%2F100%29%29%2A100%
i.e. %2825X%2F125X%29%2A100
i.e. 100/5 = 20 %
