The retiring partner share is ( \frac{3}{8} ) and his goodwill share is ₹45000. What is total goodwill?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹120000

The direct answer is C, ₹120,000. The retiring partner’s goodwill share is 3/8 of the total goodwill, and this amount is ₹45,000. Let total goodwill be G. Then 3/8 × G = 45,000. To find the whole, divide by 3/8, or multiply by its reciprocal 8/3: G = 45,000 × 8/3 = 15,000 × 8 = ₹120,000. Option C is correct. Option A, ₹90,000, would give only ₹33,750 as 3/8, so it is too low. Option B, ₹100,000, would give ₹37,500, not ₹45,000. Option D, ₹135,000, would give ₹50,625, so it is too high. The concept is part-to-whole calculation: when a known fraction is given, the total is found by dividing the known part by that fraction. Do not multiply ₹45,000 by 3/8 again, because that would find a smaller part instead of the whole. Memory cue: total = given share amount ÷ share fraction.
