Question

X promises to pay Y a reasonable amount if he paints his house according to his satisfaction. This agreement is not enforceable because of _________.

• A. uncertainty of objects and consideration
• B. impossibility of objects
• C. non-specification of time period
• D. all the three

Answer 1

The correct option is A uncertainty of objects and consideration

Any agreement is void if the subject matter of such is uncertain or incapable of being certain. Here, in this case X has asked Y to paint his house according to his satisfaction and then only X will pay Y which is not valid consideration as the satisfaction of X is vague and uncertain and cannot be determined and hence is void.
