Select the essential features of partnership from the following:

(A) Partnership is the result of an agreement between partners.

(B) Co-ownership of a property between people amounts to partnership.

(C) Sharing of profits and losses of a business.

(D) Each partner carrying on the business is the principal as well as the agent for all the other partners.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Partnership arises from an agreement (A), requires sharing of profits and losses of a business (C), and rests on mutual agency where each partner acts as both principal and agent (D).

Statement (B) is false. Section 6 makes clear that mere co-ownership of property does not create a partnership, since there is no business carried on and no mutual agency. Hence (A), (C) and (D) only.
