Assertion A Analysis: Proposal Revocation Timing
Assertion (A) states that a proposal can be revoked anytime before the acceptance is complete against the proposer, but not afterwards. This statement accurately reflects the legal position regarding the revocation of proposals.
- The revocation must be communicated to the other party.
- Revocation is effective only when it comes to the knowledge of the person to whom it is made.
- Once acceptance is complete against the proposer (i.e., the acceptance is communicated to the proposer), the proposal cannot be revoked.
Therefore, Assertion (A) is correct.
Reason R Analysis: Section 5 of Indian Contract Act
Reason (R) correctly identifies that Section 5 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, governs the revocation of proposals and acceptances.
Section 5 specifically states: "A proposal may be revoked at any time before the communication of its acceptance is complete as against the proposer, but not afterwards."
This directly corresponds to the principle mentioned in Assertion (A).
Connecting Assertion and Reason
Reason (R) provides the specific legal provision (Section 5 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872) that validates the statement made in Assertion (A). The section explains precisely when a proposal can be revoked, aligning perfectly with the assertion.
- Assertion (A) describes the rule for revocation.
- Reason (R) cites the legal section that establishes this rule.
Thus, both statements are correct, and Reason (R) serves as the correct explanation for Assertion (A).
