B Correct answer
Explanation

Let Kesav's capital be 2x, so Basant's capital = 3x (1.5 times). Kesav: 2x for 10 months, then 1.5x for 2 months = 20x + 3x = 23x units. Basant: 3x for 8 months, then 1.5x for 4 months = 24x + 6x = 30x units. Ratio = 23:30, total = 53 parts. Kesav's share = 23/53 of ₹5300 = 23 × 100 = ₹2300. Option B is correct.
