for Rs.50, 000. This is an express offer.

Rule 2. An offer may be made to a definite person or to the general public.
A specific offer can be accepted only by that person to whom it has been
made and a general offer can be accepted by any person.
For example; ‘A’ promises to give Rs.100 to ‘B’, if he brings back his
missing dog. This is a specific offer and can only be accepted by ‘B’.
On the other hand ’A’ issues a public advertisement to the effect that he
would give Rs.100 to any one who brings back his missing dog. This is a
general offer. Any member of the public can accept this offer by searching
for and bringing back ‘A’ missing dog.

Rule 3. A valid offer must intend to create legal relations. It
must not be a casual statement. If the offer is not intended to
create legal relationship, it is not an offer in the eyes of law.
For example; ‘A’ invites ‘B’ to a dinner party and ‘B’ accepts
the invitation. ‘B’ does not turn up at the dinner party. There
was no intention to create legal obligation.
Hence, an offer to perform social, religious or moral acts
without any intention of creating legal relations will not be a
valid offer.

Rule 4. The terms of an offer must be definite, unambiguous
and certain. They must not be loose and vague.
For example; ‘A’ says to ‘B’ "I will give you some money if
you marry my daughter". This is not an offer which can be
accepted because the amount of money to be paid is not certain.
For example ‘A’ offers a public reward to any one who will
furnish information as to the position of an accused person.
‘B’ ignorant of the reward, furnishes him such information.
