    Question

    Income of Anjali is Rs. 28,000, out of which she spent

    20% on daily expenses, 10% on phone bills and saves the rest. If her income is increased by 8% and she still saves the same, then what is the increase (in Rs.) in her overall expenses?
    A Rs.5,472 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.4,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.2,240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.2,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Total expenses of Anjali = 28,000 * (0.20 + 0.10) = 28,000 * 0.30 = Rs. 8,400 Therefore, savings of Anjali = 28,000 - 8,400 = Rs. 19,600 Her increased income = 28,000 * 1.08 = Rs. 30,240 Her new expenses = 30,240 - 19,600 = Rs. 10,640 Required increase in her expenses = 10,640 - 8,400 = Rs. 2,240
