Correct Answer: Debited by Rs 1,950


Solution : Answer = Debited by Rs 1950

Goodwill = 4,50,000 - 1,39,200 = 10800

B's share = 10800 x 3/9 = 3600

A's Capital A/c Dr 1950

C's Capital A/c Dr 1650

To B's Capital A/c - 3600

(G. Ratio - 13:11)

Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio

A= 5/8 - 4/9 = 45 -32 /72 = 13/72

C = 3/8 - 2/9 = 27 - 16/72 = 11/72
Hence, the correct option is 2.
