Correct Answer: balances A , B and C are 47,200, Rs 60,200 and Rs 40,000


Solution : Answer = Balances A, B and C are 47,200 Rs 60,200 and Rs 40000

A B C A B C
To Profit and loss A/c 2000 2000 - By Bal. B/D 50000 60,000 -
To Revaluation(loss) 2100 2100 - By W.C. Res 1300 1300

-

To Bal. C/D 47200 60200 40000 By Cash - - 40,000
By C's Current A/c - 3000 -
51300 64300 40000 51300 64300 40000

Goodwill = $\frac{8000 + 10,000 +18000}{3}\times 1.5$

= $\frac{36000}{3} = 12000\times 1.5 = 18000$

C's share = 18000 x 1/6 = Rs 3000

S.Ratio = O.R. -  N.R.

A = 1/2 - 3/6 = 3-3/6 = 0

B= 1/2-2/6 = 3-2/6 = 1/6
Hence, the correct option is 1.
