Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Preceding three years are 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Average Profit =−1,30,000+1,95,000+1,60,0003=2,25,0003=75,000= \frac{-1,30,000 + 1,95,000 + 1,60,000}{3} = \frac{2,25,000}{3} = 75,000.

Profit sharing ratio =12:8:10=6:4:5= 12:8:10 = 6:4:5, so Param's share =615=25= \frac{6}{15} = \frac{2}{5}.

Period == 1 April to 30 September =6= 6 months.

Share =75,000×25×612=15,000= 75,000 \times \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{6}{12} = 15,000 profit.
