    The income of a person is Rs.13000 and his expenditure is Rs.8000. In the next year his income and expenditure is increased by 10% and 20% respectively. His saving is what percent less than that of the previous saving?

    A 12% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Initial Savings = 13000 – 8000 = Rs. 5000 Next year, Income = 13000×(110/100) = Rs.14300 Expenditure = 8000×(120/100) = Rs.9600 Saving = 14300 – 9600 = Rs.4700 Required % = [(5000 – 4700)/5000]×100 = 6%
