2) all of the partners in proportion to their shares of the profits

Explanation:

Partnership refers to a mutual agreement between two or more individuals, deciding to carry on a business and share it's risks and rewards in the profit sharing ratio as stipulated, or as provided in the partnership deed.

Upon retirement or death of any of the partners, the partnership is said to have been dissolved. Upon dissolution, the profits and losses arising consequently shall be shared by the remaining partners in their profit sharing ratio. A firm may decide to voluntarily dissolve too.

In the given case, upon dissolution, liabilities exceed assets and thus indicate a loss.

This loss shall be borne by all of the partners in their profit sharing ratio and not in the ratio of their capitals.
