₹56,250

The correct answer is Option (1) → ₹56,250.

Actual profit = ₹4,50,000

Capital employed = ₹17,50,000.
Normal rate of return = 15%
Normal profit = 17,50,000 x 15/100
                    = 2,62,500

Super profit = Actual profit - normal profit
                  = 4,50,000 - 2,62,500
                   = 1,87,500

Goodwill = Super profit x no of years purchase
             = 1,87,500 x 3
             = 5,62,500

Kamal share = 1/10

Kamal share in goodwill = 5,62,500 x 1/10
                                   = 56,250
