Working Notes:
Calculation of Gaining/Sacrificing Ratio
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio ─ New Ratio
Jai = `3/5 - 1/2 = 1/10` (sacrifice)
Raj = `2/5 - 1/2 = 1/10` (gain)
Goodwill to be adjusted = 1,00,000 ─ 25,000 = 75,000
Jia's share = `75,000 xx 1/10` = 7,500 (credit, since sacrificing)
Raj's share = `75,000 xx 1/10` = 7,500 (debit, since gaining)
