Correct option is A
Given:
Income of Raman = Rs. 75,400
Savings = 23% of income
Income increases by 27%
Expenditure increases by 50%
Formula Used:
Savings = Income − Expenditure
Expenditure = Income − Savings
New income = Old income × (1 + % increase)
New expenditure = Old expenditure × (1 + % increase)
New savings = New income − New expenditure
Percentage change in savings = (Change in savings / Old savings) × 100
Solution:
Old savings
Old expenditure = 75,400 - 17,342 = 58,058
New income =
New expenditure =
New savings = 95,758 - 87,087 = 8,671
Change in savings = 8,671 - 17,342 = 8,671
