a-2, b-1, c-3, d-4.
✅ a. A Railway Time Table — 2. Is a general offerA railway time table is considered a general offer to the public at large. While some legal perspectives categorize it as an information document, in standard competitive examinations, it is frequently classified as a general offer that can be accepted by anyone fulfilling the condition (buying a ticket).
✅ b. Public Notification for Tender — 1. Is invitation to offerAccording to the Ministry of Railways Procurement Guidelines, a tender notice is merely an invitation to offer (or invitation to treat). The person submitting the bid (tenderer) makes the actual offer, which the authority can then accept or reject.
✅ c. Picking up an article from shelves — 3. Is acceptance of an offerIn the context of a self-service mall, the display of goods is an invitation to offer. When a customer picks up an article and puts it in their basket, it is often legally interpreted in these specific matching problems as the acceptance of the implied offer to sell at the marked price (though strictly in modern law, the offer is made at the cashier).
✅ d. 'A' says to 'B' that if 'A's offer is not accepted, 'B' should say 'No' immediately. 'B' keeps silent — 4. It is not the acceptance of the offerUnder the Indian Contract Act, silence does not amount to acceptance. An offeror cannot impose a condition that silence will be treated as acceptance, as seen in the landmark case of Felthouse v Bindley.
