Correct option is B
A
reconstitution of a partnership firm occurs when the
existing agreement among partners changes, but the
firm continues its business. Events leading to reconstitution include:
· Admission of a partner
· Retirement of a partner
· Death of a partner
· Change in profit-sharing ratio
These events cause the
partnership agreement to change, but
the firm continues.
However,
dissolution of a partnership firm (option b) means the
firm itself comes to an end — the business is closed, assets and liabilities are settled, and no continuation of partnership occurs. Therefore, it is
not a reconstitution, but a complete termination of the firm.
Hence, the correct answer is:
Option (b) is correct.
