Explanation:

Goodwill appeared in books at ₹60000.
This will be written off between old partners in old ratio. So, old partner's Capital a/c is debited and goodwill is credited.
Amrita share = 60000 x 3/5
                     = ₹36000
Kalyani share = 60000 x 2/5
                     = ₹24000

Amrita's Capital A/c Dr. ₹36,000 
Kalyani's Capital A/c Dr. ₹24,000 
      To Goodwill A/c     ₹60,000
