Correct Answer: do not contribute any capital and without having any interest in the business, lend their name to the business 


Solution : Someone who looks to be a partner in a firm but actually has no genuine interest in the relationship is known as an Ostensible partner. They go by the names notional partner and partner by estoppel as well. This indicates that although they are presented to the public as partners, they are not actually involved in the company.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
