Explanation

Ranjeet's investment: 20000×12 = 240000. Durgesh's: 7200×12 = 86400. Rahul joins after 6 months with 2×7200=14400 for 6 months: 14400×6 = 86400. Profit ratio = 240000:86400:86400 = 25:9:9. Difference between Ranjeet and Rahul = 25-9=16 parts = 14400, so 1 part = 900. Durgesh gets 9×900 = 8100.
