Options:

₹4500

₹7500

₹3000

Correct Answer:

₹4500

Explanation:

Old ratio between old partners is capital ratio which means 35000:21000:14000
                                                                                         =  5:3:2
Rachit share = 1/6
Total share = 1
Remaining share = 1- 1/6
                            =5/6
This 5/6 share is distributed between old partners in old ratio to know their new share
Himanshu = 5/6 X 5/10
                = 25/60
Parnav = 5/6 X 3/10
             = 15/60
Tushar = 5/6 X 2/10
           = 10/60
NEW RATIO = 25/60 :15/60:10/60:1/6
                  = 25/60 :15/60:10/60:10/60
                   = 25:15:10:10 or 5:3:2:2
Sacrificing ratio= Old share - new share
Himanshu sacrifice = 5/10-5/12
                              = (30-25)/60
                              = 5/60
Parnav sacrifice     = 3/10 - 3/12
                              = (18-15)/60
                               = 3/60
Tushar sacrifice     = 2/10 - 2/12
                              = (12-10)/60
                               = 2/60
Scarificing ratio = 5/60:3/60:2/60
                          = 5:3:2
Rachit compensate Parnav for 3/10
Goodwill brought by Rachit = 15000
Parnav share in Rachit goodwill = 15000 x 3/10
                                                  = 4500
