Correct Answer: Rs 1,50,000


Solution : Answer = Rs 1,50,000

Amount due to Girdhari

Capital Balance = 1,00,000

Revaluation Profit ($60000\times\frac{5}{15}$) = 2000

⇒ General Reserve ($30000\times\frac{1}{2}$) = 10,000

⇒Goodwill (($114000\times\frac{1}{3}$) = 38000

Amount transfer to loan account = 1,50,000
Hence, the correct option is 3.
