Given MPS = 0.2(as 20% of increase in income is saved),$\Delta\text{I}=200$ (Given)
  1. $\text{K}=\frac{1}{\text{MPS}}=\frac{1}{0.2}=5$
$\text{K}=\frac{\Delta\text{Y}}{\Delta\text{I}}\ \text{or}\ 5=\frac{\Delta\text{Y}}{200}$
$\Delta\text{Y}=1000\ \text{crore}.$
  1. $\text{MPC}=1-0.2=0.8$
$\text{MPC}=1-\text{MPS}$
$\text{MPC}=\frac{\Delta\text{C}}{\Delta\text{Y}}\ \text{or}\ 0.8=\frac{\Delta\text{C}}{1000}$
$\Delta=800\ \text{crore}.$
