    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the income of Riya be Rs. 100x.

    So, income of Neha = 1.6 Ă— 100x = Rs. 160x

    Expenditure of Riya = 0.7 Ă— 100x = Rs. 70x

    Expenditure of Neha = 0.7 Ă— 160x = Rs. 112x

    Therefore, required percentage = (70x / 112x) Ă— 100 = (625 / 10)% = 62.5%
