    A 48% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 56% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 36% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 42% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Income =45000, Expenditure =33000. Saving =45000-33000=12000. Now 20% increasing in income =45000×120/100 =54000. 12% increase by Expenditure=33000×112/100 =36960. New Saving =54000-36960=17040. Increasing in saving =17040-12000=5040. Percentage increasing saving = (5040/12000) ×100         =504/12 = 42%
