Options:

25%

30%

20%

15%

Correct Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Let the cost of bike = Rs.120

Now,

To purchase the bike in 30 months, savings should be = \(\frac{120}{30}\) = 4 Rs./mnt

To purchase the bike in 24 months, savings should be = \(\frac{120}{24}\) = 5 Rs./mnt

Increase in savings = 5 - 4 = 1 Rs./mnth

Saving increase percentage = \(\frac{1}{4}\) × 100% = 25%
