Based on the previous year’s profit, the deceased partner’s estimated annual share of profit was ₹3,24,000. If the partner dies after 5 months of the accounting year, what will be the share of profit up to the date of death?

Correct answer: ₹1,35,000

Profit up to the date of death = Annual profit × months elapsed/12 = ₹3,24,000 × 5/12 = ₹1,35,000. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B uses a 6-month ratio, while option C uses a 4-month ratio. In such questions, divide the annual profit by 12 and multiply by the number of completed months.
