Correct Answer: 50%
Solution :
Let Rs. 100 be the initial income.
Initial expenditure = Rs. 75
Initial savings = Rs. 25
Increase in income = 20%
Final income = 120
Increase in expenditure = 10%
Final expenditure = 75 + 7.5 = 82.5
Final savings = 120 – 82.5 = 37.5
Increase in savings = 37.5 – 25 = 12.5
Percentage increase in savings = $\frac{12.5}{25}×100$%
= 50%
Hence, the correct answer is 50%.
