Correct Answer: 64,960


Solution : Let her monthly salary be $x$.
Kriti's EMI was 22% of her monthly salary.
$\therefore$ Remaining salary = $0.78x$
Spending on groceries and clothes was in the ratio of $7:5$.
Money spent on clothes = $\frac{5}{12} \times 0.78x$
According to the question,
$\frac{5}{12} \times 0.78x = 18200$
$⇒x = 56000$
Her salary increased by 16%.
$\therefore$ Her new salary $=56000 + \frac{16}{100}\times 56000 = Rs. 64960$
Hence, the correct answer is 64,960.
