Solution
The correct option is B True
The most common example of an 'implied agency'
between husband and wife may be seen where the wife
purchases household necessaries on credit. A wife who lives
with her husband is supposed to have an implied authority
of her husband to purchase goods of domestic necessity on credit. The husband is bound to pay the price of goods.
Such presumption seems to depend on social environment
where a wife is normally supposed to look after domestic
affairs. She may, therefore, be compelled by circumstances
to purchase household goods on credit without her husband's
authority.
