Discussion
Read Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and with the help of codes given below it, point out the correct explanation.
Assertion (A) : In order to convert a proposal into a promise, the acceptance must be absolute and qualified.
Reason (R) : It must be expressed in some usual and reasonable manner, unless the proposal prescribes the manner in which it is to be accepted.
Answer: D
The answer is (A) is false but (R) is true.
Section 7 of the Indian Contract Act says that to convert a proposal into a promise the acceptance must be absolute and unqualified (section 7(1)), and must be expressed in some usual and reasonable manner unless the proposal prescribes the manner (section 7(2)).
The assertion says 'absolute and qualified', which reverses the rule, since a qualified acceptance is a counter-offer. The reason reproduces section 7(2) correctly. So only (R) is true.
