Correct Answer:

The correct answer is option 1- ₹4,000.

Profit on sales of year 2018 = 60,000/6,00,000 x 100
                                            = 10%

Profit on sales for period Jan 1, 2019 to March 21, 2019 = 10/100 x 2,00,000
                                                                                        = 20,000

Share of C in profits = 1 /5 x 20,000
                                = 4,000
