Question : Assertion (A): Dissolution of the firm means the dissolution of the partnership between all the partners of the firm.
Reason (R): Dissolution of the firm means the closure of business and therefore means dissolution of partnership also.
Option 1: Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct but the Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
Option 2: Both, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Option 3: Only Assertion (A) is correct.
Option 4: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are not correct
Correct Answer: Both, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Solution : The firm's business ends upon dissolution because all of its affairs are settled through the sale of its assets, payment of its debts, and satisfaction of the partners' claims. The term "firm dissolution" refers to the end of a partnership between all partners of a company.
Hence the correct answer is option 2.
