Explanation

Kamal's capital represents 7 parts out of 14 total parts. His share is (7/14) x 21000 = 10500.

AI explanation

Since the time period is the same, the profit is distributed in the ratio of their capitals, which is 3 : 4 : 7. The total of 14 parts corresponds to the total annual profit of Rs. 21000, meaning one part equals 21000 divided by 14, which is Rs. 1500. Kamal's share is 7 parts, so 7 multiplied by 1500 gives Rs. 10500.
