Correct Answer: Bakul withdrew Rs 2,000 and Gokul withdrew Rs 11,000


Solution : Answer = Baku withdrew Rs 2000 and Gokul withdrew Rs 11,000

 

  Bakul Gokul Nakul   Bakul Gokul Nakul
Bank  2000 1000 - By Bal. B/D 40000 30,000 -
        By Bank - -

20,000

To Bal. C/D 42000 31000 20,000 By Premium for Goodwill 4000 2000 -
  44000 32000 20000   44000 32000 20,000
        By Bal C/D 42000 31000 20,000
To Cash  12000 11000          
To Bal C/D 40,000 20,000 20,000        
  42000 31000 20000   42000 31000 20000

Let the total Capital of the new Firm be = 1

Nakul's share = 1/4

1/4 = 20,000

1 = 20,000 x4 = 80,000

Bakul = 2/3 x 3/4 = 2/4 x 80,000 = 40,000

Gokul = 1/3 x 3/4 = 1/4 x 80,000 = 20,000

Nakul = 1/4 x 80,000 = 20,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.
