Solution
The correct matching requires understanding the key provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932:
(A) Meaning of Dissolution → (II) Section 39
Section 39 defines dissolution of a firm, which occurs when the relationship among all partners comes to an end. This is different from dissolution of partnership (between some partners).
(B) Application of Assets → (IV) Section 48
Section 48 specifies the order in which firm's assets must be applied during settlement of accounts:
- First: Pay firm's debts to third parties
- Second: Pay advances by partners (apart from capital)
- Third: Pay partners' capital
- Fourth: Distribute remaining profits among partners
(C) Private Debts Vs Firm's Debts → (I) Section 49
Section 49 deals with the priority between firm's creditors and a partner's separate creditors. It states that firm's property shall first be used to pay firm's debts, and a partner's private property shall first be used to pay their private debts.
(D) Nature of Partnership → (III) Section 4
Section 4 defines partnership as the relation between persons who have agreed to share profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all. This establishes the fundamental nature and definition of partnership.
Correct Answer: Option 4 → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
