Correct Answer: Rs. 75,000 


Solution : Answer = Rs 75,000

Calculation of hidden goodwill 
Let the total capital of the new firm be  1
 Ashish share 1/5
The total capital of  the new firm will be  55,000X5=275000
Total capital of partners Heena, Neena and Ashish  60,000+40,000+30,000+15,000+55,000= Rs 2,00,000
 Goodwill = Rs 2,75,000-2,00,000
 Rs 75,000
Hence, the correct option is 2.
