D Correct answer
Explanation

Nirmal: 9000 * 12 = 108000. Kapil: (12000 * 6) + (6000 * 6) = 72000 + 36000 = 108000. Ratio is 1:1. Profit share = 4600 / 2 = 2300.

AI explanation

By the rule of partnership, Nirmal's effective investment is 9000 times 12, and Kapil's is 12000 times 6 plus 6000 times 6. Their profit sharing ratio becomes 108000:108000, simplifying exactly to 1:1. Therefore, they split the total profit of Rs. 4600 equally, making Kapil's share Rs. 2300.
