Correct Answer: The number of years during which the purchaser of goodwill expect that the profit due to goodwill are likely to arise in future 


Solution : Answer = The number of years during which the purchaser of goodwill expects that the profit due to goodwill is likely to arise in future 

The term "number of year purchase" refers to the duration over which the purchaser of goodwill anticipates that the profits attributable to goodwill will continue to be generated in the future. It reflects the expected period during which goodwill is expected to contribute to the firm's profitability. The number of years of purchase means the number of years for which the firm is likely to earn the same amount of profit after the change of ownership because of the efforts put in the past.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
