Question

I. The warranty must be in writing.
II. The seller must know that the buyer was relying on the seller in selecting the goods.
A. II only.
B. I only.
C. Neither I nor II.
D. Both I and II.

Answer 1

An implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose requires that the seller is aware the buyer is relying on the seller's expertise to select goods for a specific purpose, not that the warranty be in writing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditions that must be met for an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose to arise in connection with a sale of goods do not require the warranty to be in writing.

Instead, the fundamental condition is that the seller knows, or has reason to know, the buyer is relying on the seller's skill and judgment to select suitable goods for a particular purpose.

Therefore, the correct answer to which conditions must be met is II only.
