C Correct answer
Explanation

Total ratio parts = 5+6+3 = 14. Value of one part = 7084 / 14 = 506. Gurbakshish has the smallest share (3 parts). Amount = 3 * 506 = 1518.

AI explanation

The partner with the smallest investment ratio receives the least amount. The total of the ratio parts is 5 + 6 + 3 = 14, so Gurbakshish receives 3 / 14 of the total profit of 7084. Calculating 7084 * 3 / 14 gives Rs. 1518 for Gurbakshish.
