    A Rs.3550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.2700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.1900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.2250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the new savings of the individual be Rs. '100x'

    So, old savings of the individual = 100x × 0.9 = Rs. '90x'

    So, 100x - 90x = 250

    So, 10x = 250

    So, x = 25

    So, old savings of the individual = 25 × 90 = Rs. 2,250
