Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Let the income of man initially be Rs. 100. Expenditure = Rs. 75

$ \therefore $ Savings = Rs. 25 Now, increased income = 120% of 100 $ =\frac{120}{100}\times 100=Rs.,120 $ Increased expenditure =110% of 75 $ =\frac{110}{100}\times 75=Rs.,82.5 $ New savings $ =Rs.,120-82.5=Rs.,37.5 $

$ \therefore $ Percentage increase in savings $ =\frac{37.5-25}{25}\times 100=50% $
