Solution

I disagree with the given statement.

Explanation:

When the partnership deed is silent, the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 (Section 13(b)) states that partners share profits (and losses) equally, not in the ratio of their capitals. If the deed specifies a capital ratio, profits are shared accordingly. But if it is silent, the law assumes all partners contribute equally in terms of effort and responsibility, so the division is equal, regardless of the amount of capital invested.
