C's Capital A/c   Dr.  ₹11,667
       To B's Capital A/c          ₹8,333

C's Capital A/c   Dr.  ₹11,667
       To A's Capital A/c          ₹8,333
       To B's Capital A/c          ₹3,334

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4-
C's Capital A/c   Dr.  ₹11,667
       To A's Capital A/c          ₹8,333
       To B's Capital A/c          ₹3,334


Old ratio is 5:4:1

New ratio is 1:1:1
Sacrifice of B = Old share - New share
                     = 4/10 - 1/3
                     = (12-10)/30
                     = 2/30
Gain of C = New share - old share
               = 1/3 -1/10
               = (10-3)/30
               = 7/30
Sacrifice of A = Old share - New share
                    = 5/10 - 1/3
                    = (15-10)/30
                    = 5/30
So, C will compensate both A and B IN THEIR SACRIFICING RATIO.
C's share in goodwill = 50,000 X 7/30
                                  = 11,667
A's share in goodwill = 50,000 X 5/30
                                  = 8,333
B's share in goodwill = 50,000 X 2/30
                                  = 3,334

So, journal entry will be-
C's Capital A/c   Dr.  ₹11,667
       To A's Capital A/c          ₹8,333
       To B's Capital A/c          ₹3,334
