Shushan's monthly income is Rs. 45,000 and his monthly expenditure is Rs. 33,000 if his monthly income is increased by 22% while monthly expenditure is increased by 11% then what is his new monthly savings (in Rs.)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 18,270.

Given:

Shushan's monthly income = Rs. 45,000

His monthly expenditure = Rs. 33,000

As we know,

Savings = Income - Expenditure

Savings = 45000 - 33000 = Rs. 12000

Now, His monthly income after increment = 45000 × 122/100 = Rs. 54900

His monthly expenditure after increment = 33000 × 111/100 = Rs. 36630

Hence, his new monthly savings = 54900 - 36630 = Rs. 18270
