The dissolution of partnership cannot take place by which of the following way: |
Admission of a new partner Retirement of a partner Death of a partner Solvency of a Partner |
Solvency of a Partner |
Correct answer: Option (4) → Solvency of a Partner Concept: Dissolution of partnership (reconstitution) versus dissolution of firm, from Dissolution of Partnership Firm. The existing partnership is dissolved by admission, retirement, death or the INSOLVENCY of a partner – each changes the relationship among partners. It is a partner’s insolvency, not his solvency, that triggers dissolution; a solvent partner causes no change at all. Hence “Solvency of a partner” cannot dissolve a partnership, making Option (4) correct. |
