      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let monthly income of β€˜Arjun’ is Rs. 100x Monthly savings of β€˜Arjun’ = 0.40 Γ— 100x = Rs. 40x Monthly expenditure of β€˜Arjun’ = 100x – 40x = Rs. 60x Increased monthly income = 1.60 Γ— 100x = Rs. 160x Monthly expenditure now = 160x – 40x = Rs. 120x Percentage % = [(120x – 60x)/60x] Γ— 100 = 100%
