    D Section 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Section 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 11 of BSA specifically deals with cases where the question is as to the existence of any right or custom. Section 11(a) mentions that any transaction by which the right or custom in question was created, claimed, modified, recognised, asserted or denied is relevant. Section 11(b) states that particular instances in which the right was claimed, recognised or exercised, or in which its exercise was disputed, are relevant facts. The illustration provided directly addresses property rights, making Section 11 the correct answer.
