If we take x value less than y then a is greater than b.

Ashas Monthly Income = 60% of Deepak Income (78000).
Ashas Monthly Income = 78000*60/100 = 46800.
120% of Maya Income = Ashas Monthly Income (46800).
Maya Income = 46800/120%.
Maya Income = 39000.
Ashas Monthly Income = 78000*60/100 = 46800.
120% of Maya Income = Ashas Monthly Income (46800).
Maya Income = 46800/120%.
Maya Income = 39000.

Hi,
A = x% of y & B = y% of x.
A/B = x/100*y/y/100*x.
A/B = xy/100/xy/100.
Or A/B = xy/100*100/xy.
On cancellation we get A/B = 1/1.
A = B.
A = x% of y & B = y% of x.
A/B = x/100*y/y/100*x.
A/B = xy/100/xy/100.
Or A/B = xy/100*100/xy.
On cancellation we get A/B = 1/1.
A = B.

10% of 100 = 90 then 100% of 10 =100 not 90. So how a=b. Wrong answer.

I still don't understand why it is not Answer C.
If I know that A=B, then I can determine the relationship between them, they are the same.
Or don't I understand the statement C? (I'm not a native speaker).
