does will mention that if B predeceases A then property shall devolve on C?
if no such provision made and B is the only beneficary then will has no value

In the given facts, such will shall be treated as if cancelled and the legal heirs of the testator shall be beneficiaries as per law of inheritance.

I endorse what my Ld.Seniors have said...however since you've not specified the religion of the person. In Muslim Law -
In case of Sunnis the law is same as above - the Will is of no consequence - the property goes to legal heirs of testator.
However Shias have a peculiar rule - the legacy won't lapse on death of beneficiary - but would devolve on his legal heirs.
