Suppose the ratio of income to expenditure is 8 : 5. If income rises by 40% and expenditure falls by 10%, and the initial expenditure is ₹10,000, what is the amount (in ₹) of saving after these changes?

RRB NTPC 2025 Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (10-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

13,400

Ratio income:expenditure=8:5, with expenditure=10000, gives income=16000.

New income: \(16000\times1.40 = 22400\). New expenditure: \(10000\times0.90 = 9000\).

Savings: \(22400-9000 = 13400\).

Hence, the amount of saving after these changes is ₹13,400.
