Explanation:

D was admitted for a `1/6`th share, which he got from A and B in a 2 : 1 ratio. Goodwill of the firm was ₹ 3,60,000, so D’s share = ₹ 60,000. He brought only ₹30,000 in cash; the remaining ₹ 30,000 was adjusted through his current account. A and B get ₹ 40,000 and ₹ 20,000, respectively, as per the sacrificing ratio.
