    Which of the following is an example of a

    'quasi-contract' under the Indian Contract Act, 1872?
    A A signed agreement to sell a car. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Payment of money by mistake, which another person is obliged to return. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C A promise made under duress. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D An agreement with an unlawful object. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quasi-contracts are obligations imposed by law, not by agreement. Section 72 of the Indian Contract Act deals with "Obligation of person to whom money is paid, or thing delivered, by mistake or under coercion." This creates a legal duty to repay, forming a quasi-contractual relationship.
