Correct Answer: 4.5%


Solution : Initial money with Manisha = Rs. 8000
After increment of 10% = $\frac{110}{100}\times8000=8800$
Remaining money after spending 5% = $\frac{95}{100}\times8800=8360$
Required Percentage = $\frac{\text{Remaining money - Initial money}}{\text{Initial money}}\times100$
= $\frac{8360-8000}{8000}\times100$
= $\frac{360}{8000}\times100$
= $4.5\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 4.5%.
