Note : Capital mentioned in Balance Sheet for B is `20,000 and not `2,000

1. Revaluation A/C is not required as there is no revaluation of assests or liabilities.

2. Adjustment entry for Premimum for Goodwill is -

        C .... Dr. `4800 

             To A ....... `1280

             To B........ `3520

3.  Please check Quetion again I think there is some ommision or mistake in this line " Capital of A,B as between  themselves " or anything else is missing about Capital Adjustment....

add the opening capital of A and B +reserve+goodwill (20600*3/13) =40000(assumed )*13/10(1-3/13)

total capital of th firm =52000

then divide th capital in new psr7:3:3
