Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let us evaluate each statement given under the provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932:Statement (A): If the partnership deed is silent, interest on a partner's loan is provided at the rate of p.a., not p.a. Thus, this statement is False.Statement (B): If the partnership deed is silent, no interest is charged on the drawings made by the partners. Thus, this statement is False.Statement (C): The methods of settling disputes among partners can be and are typically an integral part of a partnership deed to avoid future litigation. Thus, this statement is False.Statement (D): The relationship between partners is based on the principle of mutual agency, where each partner is both a principal and an agent for all other partners. Thus, this statement is True.Since statements (A), (B), and (C) are false, the correct combination is (A), (B) and (C) only.
