    B Rs.5600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.9500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.3500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Initially, expenditure of Priya = 36000 × (2/9) = Rs. 8,000

    Initially, savings of Priya = 36000 × (7/9) = Rs. 28,000

    After salary hike, expenditure = 8000 × (90/100) = Rs. 7,200

    After salary hike, savings = 28000 × (130/100) = Rs. 36,400

    So, increased salary = 7200 + 36400 = Rs. 43,600

    Required salary hike = 43600 – 36000 = Rs. 7,600
