Explanation

Profit shares are proportional to capital multiplied by time. Sohan's investment-time product is 80000 x 12, while Mohan's is 65000 x 6, giving a ratio of 32:13. Sohan receives 20000 x 32/45 = 14222.2 rupees approximately.

AI explanation

By the standard partnership method, the ratio of profits equals the ratio of the products of investment and time. Sohan's effective capital is 80000 times 12, which equals 960000, while Mohan's is 65000 times 6, which equals 390000, giving a ratio of 32 to 13. Sohan's share of the Rs. 20000 profit is 32 divided by 45 of 20000, which is Rs. 14222.2.
