Correct Answer: Rs. 20,000
Solution : The profit ratio is directly proportional to the product of investment and time. The ratio of share of Rahul, Raman, and Mohan = the ratio of their profit $= (16000\times 4): (12000\times 12):(20000\times 8)$ $= (4\times 1): (3\times 3):(5\times 2)$ $=4:9:10$ The share of Mohan in the profit = $\frac{10}{4+9+10}\times 46000$ $= \frac{10}{23}\times 46000=$ Rs. 20,000 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 20,000.
