Solution

Profit for the year 2017-18 = Rs 1,00,000

Sales for the year 2017-18 = Rs 10,00,000

$Ratio of Profit to Sales in 2017 - 18 = \frac{1, 00, 000}{10, 00, 000} \times 100 = 10 %$

Sales from April 01 2018 to June 30, 2018 = Rs 1,50,000

∴Profit from April 01, 2018 to June 30, 2018 on the basis of Profit Ratio of 2017-18

∴C’s Profit Share (from April 01, 2018 to June 30, 2018)
