      A Rs.7600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      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
