Principle: An agreement may be entered into orally, in writing, or by conduct.
Facts: ‘A’ went to the shop of ‘B’ and picked a tooth brush and gave a cheque of Rupees twenty to B and left the shop.

• A. A entered into an agreement with B.
• B. A did not enter into an agreement with B.
• C. Payment of tooth brush cannot be made through a cheque.
• D. A should have carried a currency note of Rupees twenty to make the payment.

Hint:

An agreement can be formed through the conduct of the parties, such as offering payment through cheque.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The principle clearly states that agreements can be made orally, in writing, or by conduct. In this case, A’s action of picking up the tooth brush and offering a cheque of Rupees twenty constitutes an agreement. Therefore, option (A) is correct.
Option (B) is incorrect because A did enter into an agreement with B by providing the cheque. Option (C) is incorrect because payment through cheque is a valid method. Option (D) is also incorrect because A is not required to carry cash when a cheque is a legitimate form of payment.
