Given: 

Mohit and Rohit undertook work for Rs. 2200.

Mohit alone can do that work in 10 days and Rohit alone can do the same work in 12 days.

Concept used:

Efficiency = (Total work / Total time taken)

Efficiency = work done in a single day 

The efficiency of a person is inversely proportional to the number of days to complete the work.

Calculation:

The ratio of the number of days to complete the work is,

10: 12 = 5: 6 

The efficiency ratio will be 6:5 

Money will be distributed as per their efficiency ratio

Money received by Mohit,

⇒ 2200 × 6 / 11 = Rs 1200

Money received by Rohit,

⇒ 2200 - 1200 = Rs 1000

Difference in their share,

1200 - 1000 = Rs 200

∴ The correct option is 2
