Identify which statement is FALSE-

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.
