Given:

Shiva’s monthly salary = Rs.75,000

Shiva’s savings = Rs.21,000

Calculation:

Shiva’s total expenditure = (12,000 + 14,000 + 15,000 + 10,000) = Rs.51,000

The amount Shiva donated to the orphanage 

⇒ 75,000 - (51,000 + 21,000)

⇒ 75,000 - 72,000 = Rs.3,000

So

Required percentage = (3,000/75,000) × 100

⇒ 100/25 = 4%

∴ The correct answer is 4%.
