C Correct answer
Explanation

Profit sharing ratio based on capital × time: Abhishek = (50,000 × 3) + (30,000 × 2) = 150,000 + 60,000 = 210,000. Sudhir joined after 1 year, so invested for 2 years: 70,000 × 2 = 140,000. Total = 210,000 + 140,000 = 350,000. Sudhir's share = (140,000/350,000) × 25,500 = (14/35) × 25,500 = (2/5) × 25,500 = ₹10,200.
