- Let's assume Manju's original income = $100.

- Therefore, Raju's original income = $100 + 25% of $100 = $125.

- Raju gets a 25% rise: New income = 125 + 25% of 125 = $156.25.

- Manju gets a 40% rise: New income = 100 + 40% of 100 = $140.

- Combined original income = $100 + $125 = $225.

- Combined new income = $156.25 + $140 = $296.25.

- Percentage increase in their combined incomes is: $\frac{296.25 - 225}{225} \times 100\% = 31.67\%$.

Option 2: 31.67% is the correct answer.
