The correct answer is

Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr——— ₹40,000 N’s Capital A/c Dr——— ₹30,000 To M’s Capital A/c——— ₹70,000

Goodwill brought by a new partner is credited to the sacrificing partners in their sacrificing ratio. Here, M and N sacrifice in the ratio of 4:3. Therefore, M’s Capital A/c gets ₹40,000 and N’s Capital A/c gets ₹30,000, making option 4 correct.
