  1. A man spends 75% of his income. His income increases by 20% and his expenditure also increases by 10%. Find the percentage increase in his savings.
    1. 25%
    2. 50%
    3. 15%
    4. 10%
Correct Option: B

Let man’s income be Rs. 100.
∴ Expenditure = Rs. 75
Savings = Rs. 25
Case–II,
Man’s income = Rs. 120

Expenditure =
75 × 110
= Rs. 82.5
100

Savings = 120 – 82.5 = Rs. 37.5
∴ Percentage increase =
37.5 - 25
× 100
25

=
12.5
× 100 = 50%
25
