      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the income of Rahul in 2021 be Rs. 100f

      Expenditure of Rahul in 2021 = 0.78 Γ— 100f = Rs. 78f

      Savings of Rahul in 2021 = 100f - 78f = Rs. 22f

      Income of Rahul in 2022 = 1.28 Γ— 100f = Rs. 128f

      Expenditure of Rahul in 2022 = 1.18 Γ— 78f = Rs. 92.04f

      Savings of Rahul in 2022 = 128f - 92.04f = Rs. 35.96f

      Therefore, percentage increase in savings = [(35.96f - 22f) Γ· 22f] Γ— 100 = 63.45%
