Understanding Raman's Savings Change

The question asks how Raman's savings change when his income and expenditure both increase by 50%. We need to calculate the initial savings, the new savings after the increase, and find the difference.

Calculating Initial Savings and Expenditure

  • Initial Income ($I_1$): $₹77,600$
  • Savings Percentage: $13\%$
  • Initial Savings ($S_1$): $0.13 \times 77,600 = ₹10,088$
  • Initial Expenditure ($E_1$): $I_1 - S_1 = 77,600 - 10,088 = ₹67,512$

Calculating New Income and Expenditure

Both income and expenditure increase by 50%.

  • New Income ($I_2$): $I_1 \times (1 + 0.50) = 77,600 \times 1.50 = ₹116,400$
  • New Expenditure ($E_2$): $E_1 \times (1 + 0.50) = 67,512 \times 1.50 = ₹101,268$

Determining the Change in Savings

  • New Savings ($S_2$): $I_2 - E_2 = 116,400 - 101,268 = ₹15,132$
  • Change in Savings: $S_2 - S_1 = 15,132 - 10,088 = ₹5,044$

The savings increase by ₹5,044.
