INSTRUCTIONS: Please read the below case and answer the related questions. The Case: Ben purchased a used Laptop from Smart store during the sales period. He asked the salesperson, Rodny, if the Laptop had ever been damaged. Rodny (the salesperson) had never seen the Laptop before that morning and knew nothing of its history but quickly answered Ben's question by stating: 'No. It has never been damaged'. In fact, the Laptop had been seriously damaged previously and, although repaired and bought during the sales, it was worth much less than the value Ben had paid. When Ben learned the truth, he wanted to return the Laptop. Smart store replied that he cannot do that because they have a legally binding agreement and as per the agreement the items purchased during the sales cannot be returned.

(60 marks) B) Decide, based on the analysis made under question A, if Ben and Smart store have a legally binding agreement in this case. (10 marks)
