Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Revaluation ensures that changes in asset and liability values up to the date of reconstitution are shared by the partners entitled to them in their old ratio. If revaluation is skipped at both admission and retirement, capital balances rest on outdated values, so the sacrificing (and outgoing) partners may be over-compensated or under-compensated relative to their true entitlement.
