Explanation:
- Kriti's January salary: Let it be X.
- EMI = 22% of X. Remaining salary: 78% of X.
- She spends on groceries and clothes in a 7:5 ratio.
- Spent on clothes = Rs 18,200.
- Therefore, (5/12) * (78% of X) = 18,200.
- Solving: 0.325 * X = 18,200, so X = 56,000.
- February salary: X increased by 16%.
- February salary = X * 1.16 = 56,000 * 1.16.
- Calculating: February salary = Rs 64,960.
- Correct Answer: 64,960
