C Correct answer
Explanation

Let total profit = P. Ashwini gets P/10. Remaining profit = 9P/10, divided between Deepika and Reshma in ratio 1.25:1 = 5:4. Deepika gets (5/9)×(9P/10) = P/2, Reshma gets (4/9)×(9P/10) = 2P/5. Difference: 2P/5 - P/10 = 8340, so 4P/10 - P/10 = 8340, 3P/10 = 8340, P = 27800. Deepika's share = 27800/2 = 13900.
