(D) Let the total income be $x$.Amount given to wife $= 0.40x$.Remaining amount $= x - 0.40x = 0.60x$.Amount given to son $= 25 \%$ of $0.60x = 0.25 	imes 0.60x = 0.15x$.Remaining amount after son $= 0.60x - 0.15x = 0.45x$.Amount spent on education $= 60 \%$ of $0.45x = 0.60 	imes 0.45x = 0.27x$.Remaining amount with him $= 0.45x - 0.27x = 0.18x$.Given that $0.18x = 2700$.$x = \frac{2700}{0.18} = 15000$.Amount given to wife $= 40 \%$ of $15000 = 0.40 	imes 15000 = ₹ 6000$.
