    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Total expenses of Priya = 45,600 * (0.30 + 0.15) = 45,600 * 0.45 = Rs. 20,520 Therefore, savings of Priya = 45,600 - 20,520 = Rs. 25,080 Her increased income = 45,600 * 1.12 = Rs. 51,072 Her new expenses = 51,072 - 25,080 = Rs. 25,992 Required increase in her expenses = 25,992 - 20,520 = Rs. 5,472
