      Question

      A person used to earn Rs. 18000 per month and spend Rs.

      12000. In the following year, his income grew by 15% and his expenditure rose by 5%. Find the percentage growth in his savings.
      A 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 62% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Initial savings = 18000 – 12000 = Rs. 6000

      New income = 1.15 Γ— 18000 = Rs. 20700

      New expenditure = 1.05 Γ— 12000 = Rs. 12600

      New savings = 20700 – 12600 = Rs. 8100

      Percentage increase = [(8100 – 6000)/6000] Γ— 100 = 35%
