B Correct answer
Explanation

Varun's bonus is 1,240. Amit's bonus is 1,000 and Nitin's bonus is 1,000, totaling 2,000. The percentage less is ((2000 - 1240) / 2000) * 100 = (760 / 2000) * 100 = 38%.

AI explanation

The total bonus of Amit and Nitin is 1000 plus 1000, which equals 2000. Varun's bonus is 1240. To find how much less Varun's bonus is, we calculate 2000 minus 1240, which equals 760. The percentage difference is calculated as (760 divided by 2000) multiplied by 100, resulting in 38 percent. The marked option is correct.
