Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- Partnership Deed.

Partners can determine their mutual rights and duties by a contract called partnership deed, which determines aspects of general administration, such as which partner will do what work, what will be their share in profits, etc. It may be varied by express or implied consent of all the partner. A partnership deed is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions under which a partnership operates. It includes details such as the name of the partnership, the names and roles of the partners, their capital contributions, profit-sharing ratios, rights and responsibilities, decision-making procedures, and procedures for admission or withdrawal of partners. The partnership deed serves as a contract between the partners, establishing the framework for how the partnership will be managed and governed.
