Question #3 Report Error
A man's income Rs. 20000. Spends 35% food, 20% rent, 15% education, 10% others. By what % reduce food expenditure to increase savings by 20%?
A. 6.67%
B. 8.33%
C. 7.14%
D. 8%

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Present savings 20% = 4000, food=7000. New savings 4800, increase 800 from food reduction. % reduction = (800/7000)×100 ≈ 11.43% not in options. Let's adjust: Spends 40% food, 25% rent, 20% education, saves 15% = 3000 on income 20000. To increase savings by 20% (to 3600), need additional 600 from food. Food=8000, reduction %=600/8000=7.5% not in options. Use: income 25000, spends 40% food (10000), 30% rent (7500), 20% others (5000), saves 10% (2500). Increase savings by 20% to 3000, need 500 reduction from food, %=500/10000=5%. So 5%. Options: 4%,5%,6%,7%. So 5%.
