Discussion
Read Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and with the help of the codes given below point out the correct explanation.
Assertion (A) : An article displayed at the window of shop is only on invitation to make an offer.
Reason (R) : The person pick the article and tender at shopkeeper to purchase is an offer based on the price tag.
Answer: A
Both (A) and (R) are correct, and (R) is a good explanation of (A).
Goods displayed in a shop window or on shelves with price tags are an invitation to treat, an invitation to customers to make offers, not an offer themselves. In Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v. Boots Cash Chemists (1953), the court held that the customer makes the offer by taking the article to the cashier and tendering the price, and the shopkeeper accepts it at the counter.
The Reason states exactly that the customer's tender is the offer, which is why the display can only be an invitation, so it explains the Assertion. Hence the options treating either statement as false, or the Reason as unrelated, are wrong.
