Correct Answer: Both 2 and 3


Solution : Answer = Both 2 and 3
 

Bank A/c Dr 50,000

Z's Capital A/c 50,000

 

Z's Capital A/c Dr 50,000 

Y's Capital A/c Dr 20,000 (1,50,000 x 2/15)

To X's Capital A/c - 70,000

 

Z's Share of Goodwill = 50,000

1/3 = 50000 = 50000 x 3 = 1,50,000
Hence, the correct option is 4.
