      A Rs. 8500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 8700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 8900 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 8000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs. 9000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let monthly income of A and B be 11x and 12x, respectively. Then, 11x + 12x = 92000 23x = 92000, x = 4000 A’s monthly income = 11x = Rs. 44000 B’s monthly income = 12x = Rs. 48000 Given, expenditure of B = Rs. 14000 So, B’s saving = 48000 – 14000 = Rs. 34000 Then, A’s saving = 34000 + (1/17) × 34000 = 34000 + 2000 = Rs. 36000 A’s expenditure = 44000 – 36000 = Rs. 8000
