This section provides a clear definition of what constitutes a contract of sale, which is an essential concept in the Act.

Therefore, the correct answer is both (a) and (b).

    • D.

      On the payment of price.

    Correct Answer
    A. At the time of contract
    Explanation
    In a sale, the property in the goods is transferred to the buyer at the time of contract. This means that as soon as the contract is formed between the buyer and the seller, the ownership of the goods is transferred to the buyer. This implies that the buyer now has the legal rights and responsibilities associated with the ownership of the goods, including the right to use, possess, and dispose of the goods. The transfer of property at the time of contract is a fundamental principle in the law of sales.

      Exchange of goods.

    Correct Answer

    The correct answer is "Sale." In a sale transaction, the property in the goods is immediately transferred from the seller to the buyer. This means that the legal ownership of the goods is transferred to the buyer at the time of the sale. This is different from other options such as barter, where goods are exchanged without the transfer of legal ownership, or an agreement to sell, where the transfer of ownership happens at a later point in time.

    Correct Answer
    D. Agreement to sell.
    Explanation
    In a contract of sale, if the transfer of property in the goods is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, it is legally referred to as an "Agreement to sell." This means that the seller agrees to transfer the ownership of the goods to the buyer upon the satisfaction of the specified conditions. It is different from a sale where the property in the goods is immediately transferred to the buyer.

    • D.

      None of these.

    Correct Answer
    D. None of these.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Conditional sale." In a conditional sale, the property in the goods is to be transferred to the buyer at a future date, subject to certain conditions being met. This means that the transfer of ownership depends on the fulfillment of specific terms or events outlined in the contract of sale.

      Executed agreement.

    Correct Answer
    C. Contract of sale
    Explanation
    In an agreement to sell, the property in the goods is transferred to the buyer at some future time. This means that the ownership of the goods will be transferred to the buyer only when certain conditions are met, such as full payment or delivery of the goods. This type of agreement is legally known as a "contract of sale" as it involves the sale of goods with a future transfer of ownership. It differs from a sale where the property is immediately transferred to the buyer upon agreement.

    • C.

      Contract of sale

    • D.

      Executed contract.

    Correct Answer
    C. Contract of sale
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Contract of sale". In legal terms, a contract of sale refers to an agreement between a buyer and a seller where the seller agrees to transfer ownership of a specific item or property to the buyer in exchange for a price. This type of contract is commonly used in various commercial transactions and is governed by specific laws and regulations. The other options listed, such as agreement to sell, hire purchase agreement, and executed contract, do not specifically encompass the concept of a sale as defined in a contract of sale.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Where an agreement to sell provides that the ownership of the goods shall be transferred at some future date, it becomes sale

    • A.

    • B.

      After 30 days that date

    • C.

      After 60 days that date

    • D.

      None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. When that date arrives
    Explanation
    The given correct answer suggests that the ownership of the goods will be transferred when the agreed future date arrives. This implies that the agreement to sell will be considered a sale only when the specified date mentioned in the agreement is reached. Until that date arrives, the ownership of the goods remains with the seller.

    Rate this question:

  • 20.

    • B.

      On the expiry of 30 days after conditions are fulfilled.

    • C.

      On the expiry of 60 days after the conditions are fulfilled.

    • D.

      None of these, as such a conditional agreement ever becomes sale.

    Correct Answer
    A. On the fulfillment of the conditions.
    Explanation
    In an agreement to sell, the ownership of the goods is not immediately transferred. It is only transferred when certain conditions mentioned in the agreement are fulfilled. Therefore, the agreement becomes a sale when these conditions are fulfilled and ownership is transferred. The correct answer states that the agreement becomes a sale "On the fulfillment of the conditions," which accurately reflects the concept of a conditional agreement becoming a sale.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    A contract for the sale of 'future goods' is 

    • A.

      Sale

    • B.

      Agreement to sell

    • C.

      Sale on approval

    • D.

      Hire-purchase

    Correct Answer
    B. Agreement to sell
    Explanation
    A contract for the sale of 'future goods' refers to an agreement where the seller agrees to transfer ownership of goods to the buyer at a future date or upon the occurrence of a specific event. In this type of contract, the goods are not yet in existence or are not yet owned by the seller at the time of making the agreement. The agreement to sell is the appropriate term for such a contract, as it signifies the intention to transfer ownership in the future rather than an immediate sale.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    A contract for sale of goods which provides that the property would pass to the buyer on full payment of price and execution of the title documents, is known as

    • A.

      Sale

    • B.

      Sale on approval

    • C.

      Agreement to sell

    • D.

      Hire-purchase

    Correct Answer
    C. Agreement to sell
    Explanation
    An agreement to sell is a contract for the sale of goods where the property will pass to the buyer upon full payment of the price and execution of the title documents. This means that although the buyer has agreed to purchase the goods, the transfer of ownership will only occur once the buyer has fulfilled their payment obligations and the necessary paperwork has been completed. This type of contract differs from a sale where the property passes immediately upon payment.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Which of the following is not the essential element of a contract of sale?

    • A.

      There must be some goods as subject matter.

    • B.

      There must be some price for the goods.

    • C.

      There must be transfer of possession of goods.

    • D.

      There must be transfer of property in the goods.

    Correct Answer
    C. There must be transfer of possession of goods.
    Explanation
    The essential elements of a contract of sale include the presence of goods as subject matter, a price for the goods, and the transfer of property in the goods. Transfer of possession of goods is not an essential element because it is possible for the possession to remain with the seller, such as in the case of a bailment or a consignment arrangement. The transfer of possession may occur at a later stage or may not occur at all, depending on the terms agreed upon by the parties involved.

      Both of these.

    • D.

      None of these.

    Correct Answer
    C. Both of these.
    Explanation
    The essential requirement of a contract of sale is that all the requirements of a valid contract must be fulfilled, and there must be two parties to the contract of sale. Both of these conditions must be met for a contract of sale to be considered valid.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    A contract of sale made without consideration, is __________

    • A.

      Void

    • B.

      Voidable

    • C.

      Valid

    • D.

      None of these.

    Correct Answer
    A. Void
    Explanation
    A contract of sale made without consideration is void because consideration is an essential element of a valid contract. Consideration refers to something of value exchanged between the parties involved in the contract. Without consideration, there is no mutual exchange of benefits or obligations, rendering the contract unenforceable. Therefore, a contract of sale made without consideration is considered void.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    A contract of sale by a party not competent to contract, is _________               

    • A.

      Void

    • B.

      Voidable

    • C.

      Valid

    • D.

      None of these.

    Correct Answer
    A. Void
    Explanation
    A contract of sale by a party not competent to contract is considered void. This means that the contract is not legally binding and has no legal effect. This is because a party who is not competent to contract, such as a minor or a person of unsound mind, lacks the legal capacity to enter into a contract. As a result, the contract is deemed invalid from the beginning and cannot be enforced by either party.

  • 27.

    • C.

      Valid

    • D.

      Unlawful

    Correct Answer
    B. Voidable
    Explanation
    A contract of sale in which consent of the buyer is obtained by fraud or misrepresentation is voidable. This means that the buyer has the option to either affirm the contract or rescind it. The buyer can choose to continue with the contract if they wish, or they can choose to cancel the contract and seek remedies for the fraud or misrepresentation that occurred.

    Rate this question:

  • 28.

    • B.

      Immovable goods

    • C.

      Both (a) and (b)

    • D.

      None of these.

    Correct Answer
    A. Movable goods
    Explanation
    A contract of sale is a legal agreement between two parties where one party agrees to transfer ownership of movable goods to the other party in exchange for payment. Movable goods refer to items that can be physically moved or transferred, such as vehicles, furniture, and electronics. This type of contract does not apply to immovable goods, which are properties or assets that cannot be easily moved, such as land or buildings. Therefore, the correct answer is "Movable goods."

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    The subject matter of the contract of sale, other then the 'goods'. Can be

      Money

    • B.

      Actionable goods

    • C.

      Both (a) and (b)

    • D.

      None of these.

    Correct Answer
    D. None of these.
    Explanation
    The subject matter of a contract of sale refers to what is being exchanged between the buyer and seller. In this case, the options provided are money and actionable goods. However, the correct answer is "None of these" because the subject matter of a contract of sale can only be goods. Money is not considered a subject matter of a sale but rather a medium of exchange, and actionable goods are not relevant to the question.

    Correct Answer
    C. Property in the goods to the buyer.
    Explanation
    For a contract of sale to be valid, there must be a transfer of property in the goods to the buyer. This means that ownership and title of the goods must be transferred from the seller to the buyer. Possession and custody of the goods may or may not be transferred depending on the terms of the contract, but the transfer of property is essential for the validity of the sale.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    The expression 'property in goods' means the physical possession of goods.

    • A.

      True, as without physical possession there cannot be the ownership of goods.

    • B.

      False, as it means the ownership of goods which can be there without the physical possession.

    Correct Answer
    B. False, as it means the ownership of goods which can be there without the physical possession.
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the expression "property in goods" refers to the ownership of goods, which can exist even without physical possession. Ownership of goods can be transferred or assigned to someone else without physically possessing the goods.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    A contract to sell new currency notes at premium to a person is ____________       

    • A.

      Void

    • B.

      Voidable

    • C.

      Valid

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    A. Void
    Explanation
    A contract to sell new currency notes at a premium to a person is void because it is against the law. Selling currency notes at a premium is considered illegal and goes against the principles of fair trade and currency regulations. Therefore, such a contract would be deemed void and unenforceable by law.

    • D.

      None of these.

    Correct Answer
    C. Price
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Price". In the context of the sale of goods, the term "price" refers to the monetary value that is agreed upon between the buyer and seller as the consideration for the goods being sold. It represents the amount of money that the buyer has to pay in order to acquire the goods. The price is an essential element in any transaction involving the sale of goods, as it determines the financial value of the goods and is a key factor in determining the profitability of the seller.

    Correct Answer
    A. Price
    Explanation
    The consideration for a contract of sale is the price. In a contract of sale, the price is the amount of money or something of value that the buyer agrees to pay to the seller in exchange for the goods or services being sold. It is an essential element of the contract as it represents the value of the transaction and is necessary for the agreement to be legally enforceable. Without a price, there would be no clear understanding of the terms of the sale and the obligations of the parties involved.

    C. May be partly in cash and partly in terms of valued up goods.
    Explanation
    The consideration for a contract of sale may be partly in cash and partly in terms of valued up goods. This means that the payment for the sale can be made using a combination of cash and goods of value. It does not have to be solely in cash or solely in goods. This flexibility allows for negotiation and agreement between the buyer and seller on how the payment will be made, providing options that can benefit both parties involved.
