    Solution

    ATQ,

    Amount spent by Arjun in 2020 = 25000 × 0.3 = Rs. 7,500

    Amount saved by Arjun in 2020 = 25000 - 7500 = Rs. 17,500

    Income of Arjun in 2021 = 25000 × 1.15 = Rs. 28,750

    Amount spent by Arjun in 2021 = 7500 + 500 = Rs. 8,000

    So, amount saved by Arjun in 2021 = 28750 - 8000 = Rs. 20,750

    Increase in savings as compared to 2020 = 20750 - 17500 = Rs. 3,250
