D Correct answer
Explanation

Total profit = Rs 7000 + Rs 9000 = Rs 16000. A gets 10% of 16000 = 1600 for management, leaving 14400 to divide by capital ratio 36000:60000 = 3:5. A gets (3/8) × 14400 = 5400, B gets (5/8) × 14400 = 9000. A's total = 1600 + 5400 = 7000 (matches given), B's share = 9000.
