Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 2%

Solution :

Let the income of the man be Rs. 300.
Expenditure of the man = 300 × ($\frac{2}{3}$) = Rs. 200
Savings of the man = 300 – 200 = Rs. 100
New income of the man = 300 × ($\frac{114}{100}$) = Rs. 342
New expenditure of the man = 200 × ($\frac{120}{100}$) = Rs. 240
New savings of the man = 342 – 240 = Rs. 102
Required percentage = $\frac{(102 - 100)}{100} × 100 = 2\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 2%.
