None of the above

Correct Answer:

There should be an agreement should be to carry on some business including charitable business.

Explanation:

Sharing of Profit:Another important element of partnership is that, the agreement between partners must be to share profits and losses of a business. Though the definition contained in the Partnership Act describes partnership as relation between people who agree to share the profits of a business, the sharing of loss is implied. Thus, sharing of profits and losses is important. If some persons join hands for the purpose of some charitable activity, it will not be termed as partnership.
