Purchase consideration is the consideration received on selling the company. The Net Assets approach is taken when the information about the purchase consideration is not available. But here, in this question, it is clearly stated that Prabhu & Co. are receiving 25,000 equity shares of Rs.10 each at a premium of Rs.2 per share. So since the amount of purchase consideration is directly given, Net Assets approach is not considered.
