C Correct answer
Explanation

Initial earnings E: 6/17 = 3600/E, so E = 10200. Next month, savings = 7200, earnings = 10200. Ratio = 7200 / 10200 = 72 / 102 = 12 / 17.

AI explanation

Lavanya's total earnings are calculated as 3600 multiplied by 17 divided by 6, which equals 10200 rupees. The new ratio of her savings to the same earnings is 7200 to 10200. Simplifying this by dividing both sides by 600 gives the ratio 12 : 17.
