Their profit sharing ratio was 3 : 3 : 4. What will be 'C's share of profit?

Options:

₹25,000

₹20,000

₹15,000

₹10,000

Correct Answer:

₹20,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - 20,000.

Average profit = (1,00,000 + 2,00,000 + 3,00,000) /3
                     = ₹200000

Profit of 3 months i.e. upto 30th june = 200000 x 3/12
                                                      = ₹50000

C' share = 50000 x 4/10
             = ₹20000
