(Premium for goodwill brought in by G Credited to E along with 1/12 of the goodwill to be contributed by F due to gain in his profit sharing ratio)

     

Solution : Answer (1)

Working Note:
Old Ratio of E and F= 3: 1
New Ratio of E, F and G=1: 1: 1

Sacrifice or Gain :
E=$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{3} \quad=\frac{9-4}{12}=\frac{5}{12}$(Sacrifice)
F=$\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{3} \quad=\frac{3-4}{12}=\frac{1}{12}$(Gain)
 

Since F is gaining equal to 1/12 in the profits, therefore, he will also have to compensate E proportionately.
Firm's goodwill on the basis of G's Share in profit $=1,20,000 \times 3 / 1=$ Rs.3,60,000. So, F will compensate $=$ Rs. $3,60,000 \times 1 / 12=$ Rs. 30,000.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
