₹1,00,000

₹1,50,000

Correct Answer:

₹60,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹60,000.

Profit of current year upto death of B = Profit of the previous year x (Current year's sale/Previous year's sale)
                                                           = 3,00,000 x (3,00,000/5,00,000)
                                                           = ₹1,80,000 
B's share in profit = 1,80,000 x 2/6
                            = ₹60,000
