Directions: Go through the problem and encircle the most appropriate answer.

Everybody is under a legal obligation to take reasonable care to avoid act or omission which he can foresee would injure his neighbour. The neighbour for this purpose is any person whom he should have in his mind as likely to be affected by his act. Ram, while rushing to board a moving train, pushed Shyam who was walking along with a heavy package, containing fire crackers. As a result, the package slipped from his hand and the crackers exploded injuring a boy standing closely. A suit was filed against Ram, by the boy, claiming damages.

  1. Ram is not liable, because he did not know anything about the contents of the package.

  2. Ram is not liable, because Shyam should not have carried such a package in a crowded place like Railway station.

  3. Ram is liable, because Ram is under an obligation not to push Shyam.
