Question

Which of these agreement/s is/are void due to uncertainty?

• A. A is a dealer of refined mustard oil, he agrees to sell 10 tons of oil to B @ Rs. 40 per kg.
• B. A is a grocer agrees to sells 50kg. grocery items to B at a reasonable rate
• C. A agrees to sell the entire crop of Mango of his farm land to B
• D. All the three

Answer 1

The correct option is B A is a grocer agrees to sells 50kg. grocery items to B at a reasonable rate

Agreements, the meaning of which is not certain, or capable of being made certain, are void agreements as per Indian Contract Act, 1872.

Here, in the first two options, A is selling goods to B at a fixed or reasonable rate and the subject matter of such agreement is certain in nature. O the other hand, in option (C), A has agreed to sell the crop of his mango farm to B but the term 'entire crop' here is uncertain and there may be even a possibility of crop failure. Hence, the subject matter of this agreement is not certain and therefore, it is void due to uncertainty.
