B Correct answer
Explanation

The percentage of saving Rs. 2400 from her total salary, i.e. Rs. 16000 is calculated by keeping the percentage of savings the same as the amount she would be able to save. Hence, she is able to save Rs. 3000. Now, the amount of money she saves more is Rs. 3000 – Rs. 2400 = Rs. 600. Thus, option (2) is correct.
