Answer:

A reasonable person would not think, it was a fair offer to sell a land in $100

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Jeff jokingly to Ron that he wanted to sell his farm in just $100, Ron has to know that, no one wants to sell his farm or land in just $100.
  • Jeffs's offer was automatically null for Ron.
  • Jeff can simply explain to Ron that this contract is not formed because he was making a joke with Ron.
  • by these argument Jeff can simply explain Ron about the joke.
