Since the profit sharing ratio is not mentioned, it is assumed that all three partners (Preeti, Kabir, and Shershah) share profits equally.
Each partner's share = 31
Given that Kabir's share of goodwill = Rs. 15,000
Using the formula:
Partner's Share of Goodwill = Total Goodwill × Partner's Profit Share
Rs. 15,000 = Total Goodwill × 31
Total Goodwill = Rs. 15,000 × 3 = Rs. 45,000
To verify: If total goodwill is Rs. 45,000 and there are three equal partners, each partner's share would be Rs. 45,000 ÷ 3 = Rs. 15,000, which matches Kabir's given share.
The answer is Option 3: Rs. 45,000
