Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B

Dissolution of a partnership refers to the termination of the partnership agreement and the ceasing of business operations. The following points explain why the correct answer is A:

  • II. Cessation of business: This directly implies the end of the partnership's operations, indicating dissolution.
  • IV. Disposal of assets: When a partnership dissolves, its assets are typically sold to settle debts and distribute the remaining value.
  • I. Settlement of debts: This is part of the process of winding up the partnership after dissolution, but it doesn't inherently constitute the dissolution itself.
  • III. Introduction of assets: This is an activity relating to the starting and continuous operation of a business, not the dissolution.
