Working Notes:

1. Calculation of Gaining Ratio

 Gaining Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio

 Apama  =  3/5-3/6 = 3/30 

Sonia = 2/5-1/6 = 7/30

Therefore, Gaining Ratio  = 3/30 : 7/30  = 3:7

 2. Goodwill of the firm = Rs. 1,80,000

 Manisha's share of goodwill =  180000*2 / 6

 = Rs. 60,000

3. Aparna’s share in goodwill = 60,000×3/10 = 18000

Sonia’s share in goodwill = 60,000×7/10 = 42000
