  • Question
  • A man spends 75% of his income. This income is increased by 20% and he increased his expenditure by 10%. His savings are increased by?


  • Options
  • A. 10%
  • B. 25%
  • C. 371/2%
  • D. 50%

  • Correct Answer
  • 50% 

    Explanation

    Let income = Rs. 100
    Then expenditure = Rs. 75 and saving = Rs. 25
    New expenditure = 110% of Rs. 75 = Rs. 165 / 2
    New saving = Rs. (120 - 165/2) = Rs. 75/2
    Increase in saving = Rs. (75/2 - 25) = Rs. 25/2
    ? Increase% = (25/2) x (1/25) x 100% = 50%
