D Correct answer
Explanation

Ratio of expenditure to savings is 61:6. Total parts = 61 + 6 = 67. Income = 8710. Value of one part = 8710 / 67 = 130. Savings = 6 parts = 6 * 130 = 780.

AI explanation

The total number of parts for expenditure and savings is 61 + 6 = 67. The total income represents these 67 parts, so one part equals Rs. 8,710 divided by 67, which is 130. The savings represent 6 parts, so the monthly savings amount is 6 * 130 = Rs. 780.
