उत्तर
A is incorrect, but R is correct.
Explanation:
Batman is entitled to interest on his loan at 6% p.a. as per the Partnership Act, even if the firm incurs a loss. However, his claim of ₹ 3,000 is wrong because the correct interest works out to ₹ 1,500 only. The reason is correct, as it explains the application of the Partnership Act in the absence of a deed provision.
