Correct Answer: None of the above
Solution : Answer = None of the above
| X's Capital A/c | |||
| To Goodwill $\left(6,00,000 \times \frac{2}{10}\right)$ | 1,20,000 | By Y's Capital A/c | 90,000 |
| By X's Loan A/c (b/f) | 30,000 | ||
| 1,20,000 | 1,20,000 | ||
Gaining ratio= New ratio- Old ratio
$Y=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{5-3}{10}=\frac{2}{10} \times 4,50,000=90,000$
$Z=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{5}{10}=\frac{5-5}{10}=\frac{0}{10}$.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
