Both (A) and (R) are wrong. Explanation: A partnership can indeed be formed through a written or oral agreement, but it is not mandatory for all partners to contribute capital; some may contribute only skills or services. Also, a written agreement is not necessary for forming a partnership; an oral agreement is equally valid. Furthermore, the business may be conducted by all or any of the partners acting for all, but this part of (R) does not justify the incorrect requirement of a written agreement. Hence, both assertion and reason are incorrect.
