N's Capital A/c Dr.        ₹90,000
R's Capital A/c Dr.        ₹60,000

Explanation:

Goodwill appearing in the books will be written-off by debiting old partners ‘capital accounts in their old profit sharing ratio. Thereafter new value of goodwill will be given effect by crediting sacrificing partners' capital accounts and debiting new partners’ current account. So journal entry will be-
M's Capital A/c Dr.        ₹90,000
N's Capital A/c Dr.        ₹90,000
R's Capital A/c Dr.        ₹60,000
        To Goodwill A/c                ₹2,40,000
(Goodwill adjusted on change in profit sharing ratio)
