C Correct answer
Explanation

Total profit is 30,500. Khan + Roshan = 15,250, so Kapoor's share is 30,500 - 15,250 = 15,250.

AI explanation

Since the profit shares are distributed in proportion to the capital investments, the profit of Khan and Roshan combined represents their total capital share. The total profit is Rs. 30500, and the combined share of Khan and Roshan is Rs. 15250, meaning the remaining profit belongs to Kapoor. Kapoor's share is calculated as 30500 minus 15250, which equals Rs. 15250.
