A, by his will, bequeaths to B the sum of 5,000 rupees and also, in another part of the will, an annuity of 400 rupees. What is B entitled to?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 101 provides that two unequal legacies given to the same person in the same will are both payable. Illustration (viii) to section 101 says "B is entitled to both legacies". A lump sum and an annuity are different gifts, so neither replaces the other.
