पर्याय

• 1,00,000

• 2,00,000

• 3,00,000

• 4,00,000

Answer 1

2,00,000

Explanation:

Sam's capital = Rs. 60,000

Sam's share = `1/5`

Total capital of new firm = 5 × Rs. 60,000 = Rs. 3,00,000

Hem's + Nem's + Sam's = Rs. 80,000 + Rs. 50,000 + Rs. 60,000 = Rs. 1,90,000.

Goodwill of the firm = Rs. 1,10,000 (Rs. 3,00,000 - Rs. 1,90,000)

Sam's share = `1/5 × "Rs". 1,10,000 = 22000`
