    Solution

    Amount spent on groceries = 60000 Ă— 0.25 = Rs. 15,000 Remaining income after groceries expense = 60000 - 15000 = Rs. 45,000 Amount spent on rent = 45000 Ă— 0.25 = Rs. 11,250 Increased grocery expense = 15000 + 200 = Rs. 15,200 Increased rent expense = 11250 + 400 = Rs. 11,650 Amount saved = 60000 - (15200 + 11650) = Rs. 33,150
