Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Total profit =4,50,000+3,20,000+3,50,000+4,30,000+3,00,000=18,50,000= 4{,}50{,}000 + 3{,}20{,}000 + 3{,}50{,}000 + 4{,}30{,}000 + 3{,}00{,}000 = 18{,}50{,}000.

Average profit =18,50,000/5=3,70,000= 18{,}50{,}000 / 5 = 3{,}70{,}000.

Goodwill =3,70,000×3=11,10,000= 3{,}70{,}000 \times 3 = 11{,}10{,}000.
