Admission of a Partner

Question:

Anita and Rahul are partners running a business. They decide to bring Sneha as a new partner.

What happens to the partnership when Sneha is admitted?

Options:

The old firm is dissolved

The existing partnership is reconstituted

Both the old firm and old partnership are dissolved

The firm's assets are realised

Correct Answer:

The existing partnership is reconstituted

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - The existing partnership is reconstituted.

When a partnership firm undergoes reconstitution, it implies there are changes in the existing partnership agreement, such as the admission of new partners, retirement of existing partners, or changes in profit-sharing ratios. Thus, on the admission of the partner Sneha, old partnership is reconstituted.
