Correct Answer: 35.5%


Solution : The monthly income of Ramesh was Rs.16,500 and his monthly expenditure was Rs. 10,500.
Savings in that month = 16500 – 10500 = 6000
Next year his income increased by 25% and his expenditure increased by 19%.
Monthly income becomes = $16500×\frac{125}{100}=20625$
His expenditure becomes = $10500×\frac{119}{100}=12495$
Savings becomes = 20625 – 12495 = 8130
$\therefore$ His savings increased percentage = $\frac{8130-6000}{6000}×100=\frac{2130}{6000}×100=35.5$%
Hence, the correct answer is 35.5%.
