D Correct answer
Explanation

Total ratio parts = 6 + 5 + 8 = 19. Rachel's share = (5 / 19) * 83600. 83600 / 19 = 4400. 5 * 4400 = 22000.

AI explanation

Since the time period is the same for all three, the profit is shared in the investment ratio of 6 : 5 : 8. The sum of the ratio parts is 6 + 5 + 8 = 19. Rachel's share is 5 / 19 of 83600, calculated as 83600 * 5 / 19, which gives Rs. 22,000.
