The following agreement is 'lawful':
Agreements:
I. an agreement to kill 'Z' between 'A' and 'B'.
II. an agreement between 'X', the husband and 'Y', the wife that 'X' shall marry five times.
III. an agreement for sale of future goods.
IV. an agreement to divide proceeds of crime equally.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
An agreement to sell future goods is expressly permitted by Section 6 of the Sale of Goods Act. Future goods may be manufactured or acquired after the contract is made; an attempted present sale operates as an agreement to sell them. Agreements to kill someone or distribute criminal proceeds have unlawful objects and cannot be enforced as ordinary contracts.
