Both options 1 & 2

The correct answer is option 4- Both options 1 & 2.

The minimum guaranteed amount shall be paid to partner when his share of profit as per the profit sharing ratio is less than the guaranteed amount or he suffers loss. 

Sometimes a partner is admitted into the firm with a guarantee of certain minimum amount by way of his share of profits of the firm. Such assurance may be given by all the old partners in a certain ratio or by any of the old partners, individually to the new partner. The minimum guaranteed amount shall be paid to such new partner when his share of profit as per the profit sharing ratio is less than the guaranteed amount.
