Statement I: Every partner has unlimited liability in LLP.
Statement II: Every partner has limited liability in General Partnership.
- Only I is correct
- Only II is correct
- Both I and II are correct
- Both I and II are wrong
Answer
Both I and II are wrong
Reason — Statement I is wrong because in LLP (Limited Liability Partnership), the liability of partners is limited to their agreed contributions to the LLP, not unlimited. Statement II is also wrong because in a General Partnership, the liability of every partner is unlimited — the firm's creditors can realise their debts from the personal property of any partner.
