Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Looking at the definitions of each type of company:

(A) Companies Limited by Shares → These companies have members whose liability is limited to the nominal value of shares they hold. If shares are fully paid, members have no further liability. This matches with (IV).

(B) Companies Limited by Guarantee → Members of these companies don't hold shares. Instead, they guarantee to contribute a specific amount during winding up (if needed). Their liability is limited to this guaranteed amount. This matches with (III).

(C) Unlimited Companies → In such companies, members have unlimited personal liability for the company's debts. There is no cap on what they might have to pay. This matches with (II).

(D) One Person Company → As per Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013, this is a company with only one person as a member. It's a special category introduced to help sole proprietors. This matches with (I).

Therefore, the correct matching is:

  • (A) - (IV)
  • (B) - (III)
  • (C) - (II)
  • (D) - (I)

The correct answer is Option 2.
