• A. simple majority
• B. equality
• C. ${\frac{3}{4}}^{th}$ majority
• D. ${\frac{2}{3}}^{rd}$ majority

Answer 1

The correct option is A simple majority

Decisions can be taken by directors either in a directors' meeting or by written resolution. If they take a decision in a directors' meeting, this is known as a 'board resolution'. If they take a decision by written resolution, this is sometimes called a 'directors' written resolution', although in practice this is often also referred to as a board resolution. Under the model articles for a private company, decisions of the directors must be by simple majority decision if taken in a board meeting.
