    A Rs.13250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.11000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.14580 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.13000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Amount spent by Karan in 2018 = 50000 × 0.6 = Rs. 30,000

    Amount saved by Karan in 2018 = 50000 - 30000 = Rs. 20,000

    Income of Karan in 2019 = 50000 × 1.25 = Rs. 62,500

    Amount spent by Karan in 2019 = 30000 + 1500 = Rs. 31,500

    So, amount saved by Karan in 2019 = 62500 - 31500 = Rs. 31,000

    Increase in savings as compared to 2018 = 31000 - 20000 = Rs. 11,000
