    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.

    51.5%

    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{\%}​​
