Correct Answer: 1,20,000


Solution : Answer = 1,20,000

B's Capital A/c
To Goodwill [$2,40,000 \times \frac{2}{6}$] 80,000 By A's capital A/c 60,000
To B's loan A/c 1,20,000 By C's Capital A/c 1,40,000
  2,00,000   2,00,000


Total Goodwill= 6,00,000
B's Share= $6,00,000 \times \frac{2}{6}=2,00,000$

A's Capital A/c..........Dr 60,000
C's Capital a/c..........Dr 1,40,000
To B's Capital a/c 2,00,000.

[Gaining ratio= New ratio-Old ratio]

A= $\frac{3}{5}-\frac{3}{6}=\frac{18-15}{30}=\frac{3}{30}$
C= $\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{12-5}{30}=\frac{7}{30}$
Hence, the correct option is 2.
