Working Notes:

(i) Gaining Ratio = New Ratio – Old Ratio

Old Ratio = 3 : 2 : 1

New ratio = 12,000 : 6,000

= 2 : 1

K = `2/3-2/6=(12-6)/18=6/18`

W = `1/3-1/6=(6-3)/18=3/18`

Gaining Ratio = 6 : 3 = 2 : 1

(ii) Goodwill of the firm = ₹ 15,000

G’s share of Goodwill = `15000xx3/6` = ₹ 7,500

K = `7,500xx2/3` = ₹ 5,000

W = `7,500xx1/3` = ₹ 2,500
