Correct Answer: $26 \frac{2}{3}$


Solution : Let the income of the person be 100
Savings of the person = $100 × \frac{25}{100}$ = 25
Expenditure of the person = 100 – 25 = 75
The new income of the person = $100 × \frac{120}{100}$ = 120
New expenditure of the person = 120 – 25 = 95
Expenditure increased by = $\frac{95 – 75}{75} × 100$ = $26\frac23$%
Hence, the correct answer is $26\frac23$.
