Ram and Mohan were in partnership sharing profits and losses in a ratio of 3:2. Investments stood in the balance sheet at ₹1,40,000 on the dissolution of firm. Ram took over some of the investments at ₹8,100 (book value less 10%) while the remaining investments were taken over by Mohan at 90% of book value less ₹900 discount. At what value, did Mohan take over investment?

₹1,17,000

The correct answer is option 3- ₹1,17,000.

Book value of investments = ₹1,40,000
Ram took over investments at ₹8,100 which is book value less 10%
Lets calculate book value of investments took over by Ram.
Book value X (100- discount) = Investment took over by Ram
Book value x (100 -10) = 8100
Book value = 8,100 x 100/90
                  = ₹9,000
Remaining value of investments = 1,40,000 - 9,000
                                                   = ₹1,31,000
This is taken over by Mohan at 90% of book value less ₹900.
Book value of investment = ₹1,31,000
90% of investment = 1,31,000 x 90/100
                              = ₹1,17,900
Take over by Mohan = 1,17,900 - 900
                                 = ₹1,17,000
