Under section 24 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, which of the following agreements is void?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 24 makes an agreement void if any part of a single consideration for one or more objects, or any one or part of one of several considerations for a single object, is unlawful. By contrast, consent caused by coercion or fraud is generally governed by section 19’s voidability rule. Whether distinct lawful promises can be severed is a separate question addressed by provisions such as section 57.
