Solution
Hover or tap a marked figure, like 72,000, to see how it is made and where else it appears.
(i)True To conclude a contract, the acceptance must be communicated in some perceptible form, and when a proposal is accepted the offeree must have knowledge of the offer that was made to him; without that knowledge, there can be no acceptance. So a person who does the act a general offer asks for, without knowing of the offer (for instance, finds and returns a lost article before learning that a reward was announced for it), has not accepted it and cannot claim the reward as a matter of contract.
