Answer:-
Both are incorrect because, in the absence of the Partnership Deed, the provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, of 1932 will apply. As per the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, a partner who has given a loan to the firm without any agreement, can be allowed interest @ 6% p.a. Hence, Raj can get interest, @ 6% p.a. and not @ 12% p.a. on the loan given by him.
