Contract Act Sections: Agreement Order

This question requires arranging specific types of agreements based on their corresponding section numbers in the Indian Contract Act, 1872, in ascending order.

Identifying Contract Act Sections

First, identify the section number for each agreement type mentioned in the question:

  • A. Agreement in restraint of Marriage falls under Section 26.
  • B. Agreement made without consideration is covered under Section 25.
  • C. Agreement with unlawful objects or consideration is dealt with in Section 23.
  • D. Agreement in restraint of Trade is specified in Section 27.
  • E. Agreement by way of wager is addressed by Section 30.

Ordering Sections in Ascending Sequence

The identified section numbers are 23, 25, 26, 27, and 30. Arranging these in ascending order yields:

$23$
$25$
$26$
$27$
$30$

Mapping Sections to Agreement Types

Now, map these ordered section numbers back to the corresponding agreement types (A, B, C, D, E):

  • Section 23 corresponds to C (Agreement with unlawful objects or consideration).

  • Section 26 corresponds to A (Agreement in restraint of Marriage).
  • Section 27 corresponds to D (Agreement in restraint of Trade).
