Solution

₹ 50,000

Explanation:

Given:

Capital of Ganga = ₹ 1,02,000

Capital of Jamuna = ₹ 73,000

Saraswati’s share of goodwill = ₹ 25,000

Total capital of theirs = ₹ 2,00,000

Saraswati’s share = `1/5`

Remaining share for Ganga and Jamuna = `1 - 1/5`

= `4/5`

Reciprocal of `4/5 = 5/4`

Total Capital of the firm = `2,00,000 xx 5/4`

= 2,50,000

Saraswati’s capital = `2,50,000 xx 1/5`

= 50,000
