Solution

The correct option is B Incorrect
According to the Partnership Act, 1932 a minor can be admitted as a partner in a partnership firm with the consent of all the partners in the agreement where the minor will share only the profits or gains of the firm and he will have no share in the firms loss.
A minor has to give a public notice whether he wants to be admitted in the partnership firm or not within the six months on his attaining maturity or obtaining knowledge of his admission as a partner.
If a minor elects himself as a partner then he will become liable of all the acts of the firm and other partners after the date of giving public notice.
