Correct Answer: 65%
Solution : Let the income of Renu be 100 units. Savings = 20% of 100 = 20 units Expenditure = 100 – 20 = 80 units Income increases by 29%. New Income = 100 + 29 = 129 units New Expenditure = 80 + (80 × 20%) = 80 + 16 = 96 units New Saving = 129 – 96 = 33 units Percentage increase in savings $=\frac{13}{20} ×100 = 65\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 65%.
