    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Total expenses of Karan = 62,500 * (0.25 + 0.15) = 62,500 * 0.40 = Rs. 25,000 Therefore, savings of Karan = 62,500 - 25,000 = Rs. 37,500 His increased income = 62,500 * 1.10 = Rs. 68,750 His new expenses = 68,750 - 37,500 = Rs. 31,250 Required increase in his expenses = 31,250 - 25,000 = Rs. 6,250
