Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
Let me examine each statement about partnership provisions:
Statement 1: Partnership without written agreement
- A partnership can indeed be formed through oral agreement or even by implied conduct
- Written agreement (partnership deed) is advisable but not mandatory
- This statement is TRUE
Statement 2: Profit sharing in absence of partnership deed
- As per Section 13 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, when there is no agreement regarding profit sharing, partners share profits equally
- This applies regardless of their capital contributions
- This statement is TRUE
Statement 3: Inclusion of dispute settlement method in partnership deed
- Partners have complete freedom to include any lawful clause in their partnership deed
- Method of dispute settlement (like arbitration, mediation, etc.) is commonly included in partnership deeds
- Partners CAN mention dispute resolution mechanisms
- This statement is FALSE (it incorrectly says "cannot")
Statement 4: Maximum number of partners
- As per Companies Act, 2013 (Section 464), maximum number of partners is restricted to 50
- This limit applies to all types of partnership firms
- This statement is TRUE
Statement 3 is false because a partnership deed can include provisions for dispute settlement among partners. In fact, including an arbitration or dispute resolution clause is a common and recommended practice in partnership deeds.
