Calculate C’s share of profit till his death.
Answer: Average profit = \( \frac{14,000 + 16,000 + 18,000}{3} = \frac{48,000}{3} = 16,000 \)
Estimate profit till the date of death = \( 16,000 \times \frac{2}{12} = 2,666.66 \)
C’s share of estimated profit = \( 2,666.66 \times \frac{1}{3} = 888.8 \)

Calculate deceased partner’s share in the Profit of the firm.
Answer: percentage of profit to sale for the year 2013 = \( \frac{90,000}{9,00,000} \times 100 = 10\% \)
Profit up to death = \( 10\% \text{ of } 3,00,000 = \text{Rs. } 30,000 \)
B’s share = \( 30,000 \times \frac{2}{5} = 12,000 \)
Or
\( \frac{90,000}{9,00,000} \times 3,00,000 = 30,000 \)
