      Question

      The ratio of income and expenditure of a man is 5 : 3,

      respectively. If the income and expenditure of the man are increased by 20% and 25% respectively, then find the percentage increase in the savings of the man.
      A 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the income of the man be Rs. ‘5x’ So, expenditure of the man = Rs. ‘3x’ So, savings of the man = 5x – 3x = Rs. ‘2x’ New income of the man = 5x × 1.2 = Rs. ‘6x’ So, new expenditure of the man = 3x × 1.25 = Rs. ‘3.75x’ So, new saving = 6x – 3.75x = Rs. ‘2.25x’ So, required percentage increase
      = {(2.25x – 2x) / 2x} × 100
      = 12.5%
