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.
