    Solution

    ATQ;

    Amount initially spent by P on rent = 24000 X 0.35 = Rs. 8,400

    Increased amount spent on Rent = 8400 + 600 = Rs. 9,000

    Amount initially spent by P on food = Rs. 2,000

    Increased amount spent on food = 2000 X 1.15 = Rs. 2,300

    Increased income of P = 24000 X 1.25 = Rs. 30,000

    So, new savings of P = 30000 - (9000 + 2300) = Rs. 18,700
