- Lucky spends 85% of her income, meaning she saves 15% of it.

- Assume her original income is $100. Then, she spends $85 and saves $15.

- Her income increases by 26%, making her new income $126.

- Savings increase by 60%. Originally, she saved $15; now she saves $24 (15 + 60% of 15).

- This means her spending from her new income is $102 (as $126 income - $24 savings).

- Originally, she spent $85. Now she spends $102.

- The increase in expenditure is $102 - $85 = $17.

- The percentage increase in expenditure is ($17 increase / $85 original) * 100% = 20%.

- The correct option is Option 3: 20
