Correct Answer: Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 4,000


Solution : Answer = Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 4,000

 

When a partner retires, the remaining partners compensate the retiring partner for their share of the goodwill.

In this case, since M's share of the goodwill is one-fifth (2/5) of Rs. 30,000, which is Rs. 12,000.

A and R, in the ratio of 2:1, contribute Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 4,000, respectively, to pay M.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
