Correct Answer: The personal liabilities


Solution : A firm's operations come to an end in a condition known as a dissolution. Eventually, the liabilities are paid off and the assets are sold.

Sec. 49 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 states that a partner's private assets must be utilised to pay off their personal debt before any excess, if any, can be used for the firm's liabilities.

Hence the correct answer is option 1.
