    1. Calculation of Gaining Ratio:

    Old Ratio of Ashish, Suresh and Lokesh = 5 : 3 : 2

    New Ratio of Ashish and Lokesh = 3 : 2

    Gaining Share = New Share – Old Share

    $$\text{Ashish’s Gain =}\frac{3}{5}-\frac{5}{10}=\frac{6-5}{10}=\frac{1}{10}\\\text{Lokesh’s Gain =}\frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{10}=\frac{4-2}{10}=\frac{2}{10}\\\text{Gaining Ratio of Ashish and Lokesh = 1 : 2,}\\\textbf{2. Calculation of Suresh’s Share of Goodwill:}\\\text{Goodwill of Firms =₹2,00,000}\\\text{Suresh’s Share of Goodwill =}\frac{3}{10}×₹2,00,000=₹60,000\\\text{Which will be compensated by Ashish and Lokesh in their gaining ratio i.e., 1 : 2.}$$
