Explanation:

Old Ratio = 3 : 4 : 5

New Ratio = 3 : 4

Goodwill of the firm = ₹ 42,000

Gaining Ratio = New ratio – Old Ratio 

A = `3/7-3/12=(36-21)/84=15/84`

C = `4/7-5/12=(40-35)/84=13/84`

Gaining Ratio = `15/84:13/84`

Gaining Ratio = 15 : 13

B’s share on Goodwill = `42,000xx4/12` = 14,000

A’s share = `14,000xx15/28` = 7,500

C’s share = `14,000xx13/28` = 6,500
