Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Salary = Rs. 160000Personal and family expenses (P) = 50% of 160000 = 80000
Education loan (E) = 20% of 80000 = 16000
Taxes (T) = 15% of 16000 = 2400
Saving = 160000 - 80000 - 16000 - 2400 = 61600
New salary = 130% of 160000 = Rs. 208000
Personal and family expenses (P) = 50% of 208000 = 104000
Education loan (E) = 30% of 104000 = 31200
Taxes (T) = 20% of 31200 = 6240
Saving = 208000 - 104000 - 31200 - 6240 = 66560
Sum of the two saving = 61600 + 66560 = 128160
