    Solution

    Let his salary be Rs. 100 His expenditure = 60% of 100 = Rs. 60 His saving = Rs. (100 – 60) = Rs. 40 Salary increased by 30% New salary = Rs. (100 × 130)/100 = Rs. 130 saving on increased amount = Rs. 55%×40 = Rs. 22 New Saving = Rs. (40 + 22) = Rs. 62 required increase in saving = (62 – 40)/40 × 100 ∴ required increase in saving = 55%
