Explanation

The statement is correct as per the provisions of Compulsory Dissolution under the Indian Partnership Act. The textbook explicitly states under 'Compulsory Dissolution' that a firm is dissolved compulsorily when all the partners or all but one partner become insolvent, rendering them incompetent to sign a contract. This is because insolvent persons lose their contractual capacity, making it impossible for the firm to continue its operations legally.

  3. Step 3: Verify that the statement matches condition (a): 'when all the partners or all but one partner, become insolvent.'
