Contracts
Which of the following is a 'void' contract (not just voidable)?
AA contract signed by a minor
BA contract obtained through misrepresentation
CA contract for an illegal purpose✓ Correct
DA contract signed under duress
Explanation
A contract for an illegal purpose is void from the outset — it has no legal effect whatsoever and cannot be enforced by either party. Contracts signed by minors, under duress, or through misrepresentation are voidable (not void) — they can be enforced or rescinded at the option of the affected party.
