A,B,C will take the profit in following ratio

$$=6500×6:8400×5:10000×3$$

$$=39000:42000:30000$$

$$=39:42:30$$

$$=13:14:10.$$

Total profit$$=7400.$$

5% of 7400$$=370.$$

rest of profit$$=7400-370=7030.$$

A will get$$=7030×(13/37)=2470.$$ of rest of the profit.

So,Total profit part of A$$=2470+370.$$

$$=2840.$$

So,C is correct choice.
