      B 63.33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 35.35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 43.44% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the monthly income of Rahul be Rs. 100x.

      So, monthly savings of Rahul = 0.36 Γ— 100x = Rs. 36x

      Monthly expenditure of Rahul = 100x – 36x = Rs. 64x

      Monthly income of Rahul after increase = 1.182 Γ— 100x = Rs. 118.2x

      Monthly expenditure of Rahul after increase = 118.2x – 36x = 82.2x

      Desired percentage = [(82.2x – 64x)/64x] Γ— 100 = 28.44%
