    C 6:11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 14:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let income of A and B are 4d and 9d respectively.
    Expenditure of B = 140% of 4d = 5.6d
    Expenditure of A = 5.6d * 1/4 = 1.4d
    Ratio of savings of A to B = (4d - 1.4d)/(9d - 5.6d) = 2.6 : 3.4 = 13:17
