A Correct answer
Explanation

Roshan invested Rs 20000 for 3 years. Ahamed joined after 6 months, investing Rs 32000 for the remaining 2.5 years. Their investment ratio: Roshan = 20000 × 3 = 60000. Ahamed = 32000 × 2.5 = 80000. Profit ratio = 60000:80000 = 3:4. Total profit = Rs 98000. Roshan's share = (3/7) × 98000 = 3 × 14000 = Rs 42000.
