    Each question consists of legal principle(s) (here-in-after referred to as 'principle') and facts. Such proposition may or may not be true in the real and legal sense, yet you have to conclusively assume them to be true for the purposes of this section. Principles have to be applied to the given facts to arrive at the most reasonable conclusion. Only one of the alternatives, i.e. [a], [b], [c] or [d] is the most reasonable conclusion. In other words, in answering the following questions, you must not rely on any principle except the principles that are given herein below for every question. Further you must not assume any facts other than those stated in the question. The objective of this section is to test your ability in legal aptitude, study of law, research aptitude and problem solving ability even if the 'most reasonable conclusion' arrived at may be absurd or unacceptable for any other reason.
    Principle 'A' condition must be complied in order to claim the benefit of an agreement.
    Facts 'A' agrees to transfer a farm to 'B', if 'B' shall not go to England within three years after the date of the agreement, his interest in the farm shall cease. 'B' does not go to England within the term prescribed.

    A) B's interest in the farm continues

    B) B's interest in the farm does not continue

    C) 'B' has a fundamental right to go to England or not to go to England and hence the condition is illegal

    D) The agreement between 'A' and 'B' is void

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Sol.      [b] As per the principle, 'B' fails to keep up the condition. He fails to go to England within three years after the date of the agreement. Therefore, his interest in the farm does not continue and he cannot claim the benefit.
