06 March 2011 See according to me Firm is maintaining it's accounts according to calendar year.B died on 31st Mar.2006.
So his share in profits will only be till 31st march06.
Profits till 31.03.06 on basis of 2005 =
75000 * 3/12 = 18750
this profit will be shared equally among A,B & C
So B's share = 18750 * 1/3 = Rs 6250
