Question

Arrange the following Indian Acts on basis of their enactment in chronological order:
A. Partnership Act
B. Sale of Goods Act
C. Negotiable Instrument Act
D. Contract Act
E. Consumer Protection Act (New)

• A. A, B, C, E, D
• B. C, D, A, B, E
• C. B, C, D, A, E
• D. D, C, B, A, E

Hint:

Logic Tip: Contract Act (1872) is older than Negotiable Instruments Act (1881).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1:

• Indian Contract Act $\rightarrow 1872$
• Negotiable Instruments Act $\rightarrow 1881$
• Sale of Goods Act $\rightarrow 1930$
• Partnership Act $\rightarrow 1932$
• Consumer Protection Act (New) $\rightarrow 2019$

Step 2:
From oldest to latest: \[ 1872 \rightarrow 1881 \rightarrow 1930 \rightarrow 1932 \rightarrow 2019 \] Thus: \[ D \rightarrow C \rightarrow B \rightarrow A \rightarrow E \]

Step 3:
The sequence corresponds to: \[ D,\; C,\; B,\; A,\; E \]

Step 4:
Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{(4) D, C, B, A, E}} \]
