- Radha saves 25% of her income, meaning she spends 75% of it.

- Let’s assume her initial income is 100 units. Her savings would be 25 units, and her expenditure would be 75 units.

- Her income increases by 29%, which makes it 129 units.

- Her new expenditure, with a 20% increase, becomes 90 units (75 + 15).

- Her new savings = New Income - New Expenditure = 129 - 90 = 39 units.

- The change in savings is from 25 units to 39 units.

- The percentage increase in savings = [(39 - 25) / 25] x 100 = 56%.

- The correct option is 2, which is 56%.
