C Correct answer
Explanation

Sharookh and Shalman share the profit in a 5:2 ratio. Since Sharookh's share is Rs. 13,680, which corresponds to 5 parts, one part is 13,680 / 5 = 2,736. Shalman's share is 2 parts, so 2 * 2,736 = 5,472.

AI explanation

Because Sharookh and Shalman invest in a 5 : 2 ratio, their shares of the remaining profit after the 10% tax deduction are also in a 5 : 2 ratio. Sharookh's 13,680 share represents 5 parts, meaning one part is 13,680 / 5 = 2,736. Shalman's share is 2 parts, so he receives 2,736 * 2 = 5,472.
