C Correct answer
Explanation

Let total profit be P. Shivam gets P/10. Remaining profit is 9P/10, divided between Harshit and Anupam in ratio 1.25:1 = 5:4. Harshit gets (5/9)(9P/10) = P/2, Anupam gets (4/9)(9P/10) = 2P/5. Difference: Anupam - Shivam = 2P/5 - P/10 = 4P/10 - P/10 = 3P/10 = 8340. So P = 8340 × 10/3 = Rs. 27800. Harshit's share = P/2 = 27800/2 = Rs. 13900.
