hello ,

1) Five conditions need to be fulfilled in case of merger not purchase.

2) see check in the question if all five conditions are fulfilled then its in the nature of merger and accordingly pooling of interest method would be applicable.

3)usually when question says one company absorb another company its in the nature of purchase.

4)many of times question specifies.

5)and even if question does not make clear n u also not clear then make assumption in the absence of required information.
