    A 140% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 90% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 120% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Initial income = ₹16,000   Initial expenditure = 80% of ₹16,000 = ₹12,800   Initial savings = ₹16,000 - ₹12,800 = ₹3,200   New income = ₹16,000 + 20% of ₹16,000 = ₹19,200   New expenditure = ₹12,800 + 10% of ₹12,800 = ₹14,080   New savings = ₹19,200 - ₹14,080 = ₹5,120   Increase in savings = ₹5,120 - ₹3,200 = ₹1,920   Percentage increase in savings = (₹1,920 / ₹3,200) × 100 = 60%
