Solution(By Examveda Team)

A nominal partner is a partner in the business who has no actual interest in the trade or its profits. However, the person allows his/her name to be used in the business. A nominal partner holds himself/herself out to the world as having an apparent interest in the business. A nominal partner will be liable as a partner, because of the false appearance the person holds before the world.
