Solution
₹ 4,000
Explanation:
A : B : C = 2 : 2 : 1
1 Jan 2018 - 31 Dec 2018
Sales = ₹ 6,00,000
Profit = ₹ 60,000
Profit % = `(6,00,000)/(60,000)`
= 10%
On 31 March 2019 = C died
1 Jan 2019 - 31 March 2019
Sales = ₹ 2,00,000
Profit of the firm = `2,00,000xx10/100`
= ₹ 20,000
Share of C for the Current year
`20,000xx1/5`
= ₹ 4,000
