Correct Answer: Rs.4,000


Solution : % of Profit on sales = 60000 / 600000   = 10%

Hence Profit on Rs.200000 sales which were made from 1 january to 31 march 2022 is Rs.20000 (200000 * 10%)

Profit sharing ratio = 2 : 2: 1

So share of C is Rs.20000 * 1 / 5   = Rs.4000

Hence the correct answer is option 2.
