Options:

₹22,000 and ₹13,000

₹16,500 and ₹19,000

₹60,000 and ₹40,000

None of the Above

Correct Answer:

None of the Above

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- None of the Above.

Gaining ratio = New ratio - Old ratio
A's gain = 5/8 - 4/9
             = (45-32)/72
             = 13/72
C's gain = 3/8 - 2/9
             = (27-16)/72
             = 11/72
Gaining ratio is 13:11

B's share= 3/9
Goodwill = 1,08,000
B' share of goodwill = 1,08,000 X 3/9
                                = ₹36,000
₹36000 is distributed between A & C in their gaining ratio.

A' s share in goodwill = 36,000 x 13/24
                                  = ₹19,500
C' s share in goodwill = 36,000 x 11/24
                                  = ₹16,500

So, the correct answer is none of the above.
