Question

An incorrect example of corporation aggregate is the:

• A. President of India
• B. Reserve Bank of India
• C. University of Delhi
• D. Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad

Hint:

A corporation sole ensures continuity of legal actions and property holding in an office even when the office-holder changes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Corporations in legal theory are divided into 'corporations aggregate' (consisting of multiple members acting as a single entity) and 'corporations sole' (consisting of a single office held by an individual).

Step 1: Distinguishing between aggregate and sole.
-

Corporation Aggregate: A collection of individuals united into a body, such as a company, a university, or a municipality. These bodies persist regardless of changes in individual membership.
-

Corporation Sole: An office that consists of a single person at any given time, who serves as a legal entity.

Step 2: Analyzing the options.
-

President of India: This is a classic example of a 'corporation sole' because the office is held by one person at a time, yet the legal office remains the same.
-

RBI, University of Delhi, Municipal Corporation: These are clearly composed of many people and bodies, thus qualifying as 'corporations aggregate'.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Since the President of India is a corporation sole, it is the incorrect example for corporation aggregate. equation Incorrect example of corporation aggregate = President of India equation center President of India center
