      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the initial income and expenditure of Riya be Rs. '5n' and Rs. '3n', respectively.

      Initial savings = 5n - 3n = Rs. '2n'

      Increased income = (8/5) × 5n = Rs. '8n'

      Increased expenditure = (7/5) × 3n = Rs. '21n/5'

      Final savings = 8n - 21n/5 = Rs. (40n - 21n)/5 = 19n/5

      Required percentage = [(19n/5 - 2n) ÷ 2n] × 100

      = [(19n - 10n) ÷ 10n] × 100

      = (9n ÷ 10n) × 100 = 90%
