Discussion
Read Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and with the help of codes given below, point out the correct explanation.
Assertion (A) : An offer is the expression of the offerer to do or abstain from doing something.
Reason (R) : It should be made with a view to obtaining the assent of the offeree to the proposed act or abstinence.
Answer: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is a good explanation of (A).
Section 2(a) of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 defines a proposal: when one person signifies to another his willingness to do or to abstain from doing anything, with a view to obtaining the assent of that other to such act or abstinence, he is said to make a proposal. The Assertion states the first half and the Reason the second.
The Reason supplies the purpose that turns a mere statement of willingness into an offer, so it explains the Assertion rather than merely standing beside it. Neither statement is false, which rules out the last two options.
