Solution

The correct option is B
Rs 31,250

The deceased partner's claim on profits is only till the date of death. Profit sharing is given equally. PSR= 1:1:1

Hence, the Rs 93,750 profits till 31st December is shared between the three partners equally.

So, deceased partner's share of profit
$= R s 93, 750 \times \frac{1}{3} = R s 31, 250$
