In which of the following the Economic relationship between the partners comes to an end?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Dissolution of Partnership occurs when there is a change in the existing relationship between partners. This happens due to:

  • Retirement of a partner
  • Death of a partner
  • Admission of a new partner
  • Change in profit-sharing ratio

In dissolution of partnership, the business continues with a reconstituted partnership. The economic relationship is restructured, not ended. The remaining or new set of partners continue the firm's operations.


Dissolution of Partnership Firm occurs when the business itself is completely closed down. This involves:

  • Closure of all business operations
  • Sale of all assets
  • Payment of all liabilities
  • Settlement of partners' accounts
  • Complete winding up of the firm

When the firm dissolves, the economic relationship between all partners comes to an end completely. No partner continues the business under the same firm name.


In case of retirement or death of a partner, only one partner exits while others continue. The firm carries on with the remaining partners, so the economic relationship among them doesn't end.

Therefore, the economic relationship between partners ends only upon Dissolution of Partnership Firm, where the business entity itself ceases to exist and all partners part ways permanently.
