Question

The monthly income of a person was Rs. 27,000 and his monthly expenditure was Rs. 18,000. In the next year, his income increased by 28% and his expenditure increased by 14%. Find the percentage increase in his savings.

A.

B.

61.5%

C.

56%

D.

50.5%

Correct option is C

Old Savings = Old Income - Old Expenditure = 27000-18000 = 9000

New Income = 27000+ 28% of 27000 = 34560

New Expenditure = 18000+ 14% of 18000 = 20520 

New Savings = 34560- 20520 = 14040 

Percentage increase in his savings = 1404090009000×=56%\frac{14040-9000}{9000}\times = 56{\%}​​
