Consider the following and select the correct statements

(A) The ratio in which the continuing partners acquire the outgoing partner's share is called the Gaining Ratio.

(B) The ratio in which the continuing partners acquire the outgoing partner's share is called the Sacrificing Ratio.

(C) In the event of the death of a partner, the amount of general reserve is transferred to partners' capital accounts in the new profit sharing ratio.

(D) On the admission of a new partner, the old partnership is dissolved.

Choose a pair of correct statements from the given options below.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The share of an outgoing partner is acquired by the continuing partners in the Gaining Ratio, so (A) is correct and (B) is wrong. On death, General Reserve is distributed in the old ratio, so (C) is wrong. Admission reconstitutes the firm: the old partnership agreement comes to an end though the firm continues, so (D) is correct.
