C Correct answer
Explanation

Let the shares be 5x, 2x, 4x, 3x. Third son (4x) - Fourth son (3x) = 1000, so x = 1000. Second son's share = 2x = 2000.

AI explanation

The difference between the shares of the third son and the fourth son is 4 - 3 = 1 part of the ratio. Since 1 part equals Rs. 1000, the second son's share of 2 parts is 2 * 1000 = 2000. The required share is Rs. 2000.
