Solution
Under the Partnership Act, 1932, there are different modes through which a partnership firm can be dissolved:
Dissolution of firm by agreement occurs when all the partners mutually decide to end the partnership. This requires unanimous consent of all partners to dissolve the firm.
Match: (A) → (II)
Compulsory dissolution of firm takes place automatically by operation of law in certain situations. The firm must be dissolved when the business becomes unlawful or illegal (such as when a law is passed making the business illegal), or when all partners except one become insolvent.
Match: (B) → (III)
Dissolution of firm by notice applies to partnerships at will. Any partner can dissolve such a firm unilaterally by giving written notice of intention to dissolve to all other partners. This doesn't require consent of other partners.
Match: (C) → (IV)
Dissolution of firm by Court happens when a partner files a suit in court for dissolution. The court may order dissolution on various grounds including: when a partner becomes of unsound mind (insane), suffers from permanent incapacity, is guilty of misconduct affecting the business, persistently breaches partnership agreement, or when the business can only be carried on at a loss.
Match: (D) → (I)
Therefore, the correct matching is: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
