The profit earned up to a partner’s date of death is ₹48,000, and the deceased partner’s profit-sharing ratio is 3/8. What amount is due as the deceased partner’s share of profit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹18,000

The deceased partner’s share of profit = Total profit × Profit-sharing ratio = ₹48,000 × 3/8 = ₹18,000. Therefore, option A is correct. ₹12,000 represents one-fourth of the profit, not three-eighths. Exam tip: identify the total profit and the deceased partner’s fraction first, then multiply and divide accordingly.
