Solution : Let Rs. 100 be the initial monthly income. Initial expenditure = 68% of initial monthly income = Rs. 68 Initial savings = Rs. 100 – Rs. 68 = Rs. 32 Increase in income = 25% Final monthly income = Rs. 100 + Rs. 25 = Rs. 125 Increase in savings = 15% $\therefore$ Final savings = Rs. 32 + $\frac{15}{100}$ × 32 = 32 + 4.8 = Rs. 36.8 Final expenditure = Rs. 125 – Rs. 36.8 = Rs. 88.2 Increase in expenditure = Rs. 88.2 – Rs. 68 = Rs. 20.2 $\therefore$ Percentage increase $=\frac{20.2}{68}×100=29 \frac{12}{17} $% Hence, the correct answer is $29 \frac{12}{17} $%.
