    suitable for my wife and me
  • d)
    no error
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Jayant Mishra answered
"Due to my being a newcomer" is the correct form. Using "me" is incorrect in this case. The phrase "Due to" must be followed by a noun or a gerund (verb + ing), so the correct form is "my being" not "me being".

Pattern Analysis:
To find the missing term in the given number series, we need to analyze the pattern followed by the given sequence. Let's break down the series and observe the differences between consecutive terms:

6, 11, 21, 36, 56, ___

Difference between consecutive terms:
- The difference between the 2nd and 1st terms is 11 - 6 = 5.
- The difference between the 3rd and 2nd terms is 21 - 11 = 10.
- The difference between the 4th and 3rd terms is 36 - 21 = 15.
- The difference between the 5th and 4th terms is 56 - 36 = 20.

Pattern in the differences:
If we observe the differences between consecutive terms, we can see that they are increasing by 5, 10, 15, 20, and so on. This indicates an arithmetic progression (AP) with a common difference of 5.

Finding the missing term:
To find the missing term, we need to continue the pattern by adding the next difference to the last term of the series.

The last term is 56, and the next difference is 20. Adding 20 to 56, we get 76.

Therefore, the missing term in the given number series is 76.

Verification:
Let's verify our answer by checking if the pattern holds for the entire series:

6, 11, 21, 36, 56, 76

- The difference between the 2nd and 1st terms is 11 - 6 = 5.
- The difference between the 3rd and 2nd terms is 21 - 11 = 10.
- The difference between the 4th and 3rd terms is 36 - 21 = 15.
- The difference between the 5th and 4th terms is 56 - 36 = 20.
- The difference between the 6th and 5th terms is 76 - 56 = 20.

The differences between consecutive terms remain consistent throughout the series, confirming that our answer is correct.

Therefore, option 'C' (81) is the correct alternative that continues the same pattern and fills in the blank space.

Principle: A contract is an agreement enforceable by law.
Facts: X invited Y to her house for dinner. Y accepted the invitation but later did not go. On Y's failure to attend, X filed a suit against Y for the price of non-consumed food. Can this agreement be enforced by law?
  • a)
    This agreement cannot be enforced as it is just a social agreement
  • b)
    This agreement can be enforced as X can recover the price of non-consumed food.
  • c)
    This agreement cannot be enforced as Y did not accept the invitation in writing.
  • d)
    This agreement can be enforced since once accepted Y should have turned up for dinner.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

The principle states that a contract is an agreement enforceable by law. However, in this case, the agreement between X and Y is not a contract but just a social agreement.

The facts of the case state that X invited Y to her house for dinner, and Y accepted the invitation but later did not go. On Y's failure to attend, X filed a suit against Y for the price of non-consumed food.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - this agreement cannot be enforced as it is just a social agreement.

Reasoning:

There are several reasons why this agreement cannot be enforced as a contract:

1. No intention to create legal relations: The invitation for dinner was a social arrangement between X and Y, and there was no intention to create legal relations. Therefore, this does not qualify as a contract.

2. No consideration: A contract requires consideration, which is something of value exchanged between the parties. In this case, there was no consideration as the invitation for dinner was a social arrangement.

3. No offer and acceptance: For a contract to be valid, there must be an offer and acceptance. In this case, there was an invitation, but there was no offer and acceptance of any terms.

4. No written agreement: While a contract can be verbal or written, a written agreement is always better to avoid any confusion later. However, in this case, there was no written agreement.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the agreement between X and Y for dinner cannot be enforced as a contract as it was just a social arrangement with no intention to create legal relations, no consideration, no offer and acceptance, and no written agreement. Therefore, X cannot recover the price of non-consumed food from Y.

Legal Principle 1: Acceptance of an offer is complete when the acceptance is put into the course of transmission so as to be out of the power of the acceptor
Legal Principle 2: Acceptance once completed, makes the agreement binding on both the parties
Facts: A accepts to buy B’s offer of his motor car for Rs. 4 Lakhs. The acceptance was put into e-mail. Unfortunately, when the e-mail was put, there is distortion as a result of which B is not in a position to really read what A has written
 
  • a)
    Both the parties are bound to perform their part of the agreement
  • b)
    Nobody is bound to perform the agreement
  • c)
    A is bound to perform the agreement but not B
  • d)
    B is bound to perform the agreement but not A
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Legal Principles:
1. Acceptance of an offer is complete when the acceptance is put into the course of transmission so as to be out of the power of the acceptor.
2. Acceptance once completed, makes the agreement binding on both the parties.

Facts:
A accepts to buy B's offer of his motor car for Rs. 4 Lakhs. The acceptance was put into an email. Unfortunately, when the email was sent, there was distortion, as a result of which B is not in a position to really read what A has written.

Conclusion:
In this case, the legal principle of acceptance of an offer is complete when the acceptance is put into the course of transmission so as to be out of the power of the acceptor applies. Therefore, A is bound to perform the agreement as the acceptance was put into the course of transmission, and once completed, the agreement becomes binding on both parties. The fact that there was distortion in the email does not affect the completion of acceptance. Both parties are bound to perform their part of the agreement as the acceptance was communicated, and the agreement became binding. Hence, option 'A' is the correct answer.

My book has been missing (A) / from my room (B) / till yesterday. (C) / no error (D)
  • a)
    My book has been missing
  • b)
    from my room
  • c)
    till yesterday
  • d)
    no error
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

The error in the given sentence is in part (C), "till yesterday."

Corrected Sentence:

My book has been missing from my room until yesterday.

Detailed Explanation:

The sentence describes the situation where the book was missing from the author's room. However, the use of "till yesterday" in part (C) is incorrect.

The word "till" is used to indicate a specific point in time until which an action or state continues. However, in this context, "until" would be a more appropriate word choice. "Until" refers to a point in time up to which an action or state continues, and it clearly defines that the book was missing until yesterday, but not anymore.

Here is the breakdown of the sentence:

Part (A): My book has been missing
- This part of the sentence is grammatically correct. It states that the book has been missing, indicating a state of being.

Part (B): from my room
- This part of the sentence is also grammatically correct. It clarifies the location from where the book is missing, which is the author's room.

Part (C): till yesterday
- This is the incorrect part of the sentence. The word "till" should be replaced with "until" to convey the correct meaning.

Part (D): no error
- This part is incorrect as the sentence contains an error in part (C).

Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: "My book has been missing from my room until yesterday." This revised sentence clearly communicates that the book was missing until the previous day, implying that it has been found or returned since then.
