Abu advertised in the columns of the Utusan Malaysia, a $2016$ model HRV Honda car for sale. Bashir sent the following

telegram to Abu: Interested in buying the HRV Honda Car. Quote lowest price

To this Abu replied $$The lowest price that I can offer is RM $50,000.$ Bashir replied $$I agree to buy the car for RM$50,000.$

Abu did not care to answer Bashir. After waiting for a few weeks, Bashir went to Abu with the money to buy the car. Abu

refuses to sell.

Based on the facts above:

$($a$)$ Advise Bashir as to his legal rights against Abu in relation to the agreement.

$($b$)$ Explain if your answer would be different if Abu did answer to Bashir and willing to sell the car to Bashir for

RM$50,000.$

$(8$ marks$)$
