Explanation
Company C's infrastructure is 125 percent more than Company A's bonus, so the answer is 125.
Company C's infrastructure is 24 percent of 75 lakh, which is 18 lakh.
Company A's bonus is 10 percent of 80 lakh, which is 8 lakh.
The difference is 18 minus 8, which is 10 lakh.
The percentage more is measured against the bonus value of 8 lakh.
10 divided by 8 times 100 is 125 percent.
