Which of the following bequests by A to B is a demonstrative legacy?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Illustration (iii) to section 150 holds that "10,000 rupees out of my estate at Ramnagar" is demonstrative, since it is a sum directed to be paid out of specified property. A gift of the estate itself, or of all property at Benares, gives specified property and is specific under section 142. Money "in a certain chest" is also a specified thing, which is why Illustration (ii) to section 152 treats that gift as adeemed when the chest is empty.
