George has decided to sell his car. Elaine saw George$$s ad in the paper for a red $1997$

used Ford Mustang with only $60,000$ miles on it and decided to look at the car. After taking it

for a test drive Elaine confessed to George how excited she was to buy a Mustang with only

$30,000$ miles on it and went on and on about what a good deal it was! George didn$$t interrupt

her excitement to tell her it really had $60,000$ miles on it because, hey, she really was getting

a good deal. Elaine purchased the car from George only to find out a week later of its true

mileage. She called George to complain and get some of her money back but George denied

anything wrong and said since she test$-$drove the car she should have seen the mileage and its

was not his fault. Elaine is so upset she decides to take George to court. Which of the

following is correct?

a$.$ George will win because Elaine made a common mistake and that does not allow

one to get out of a contract in a court of law.

b$.$ George will win because the mistake was not on a material fact and you cannot

have a mistake on just an opinion.

c$.$ George will win because it was a bilateral $($or mutual$)$ mistake and Elaine is bound

to the objectivity of the contract.

d$.$ Elaine will win because George knew she was making a mistake but didn$$t tell

her, so the court will rule in favor of the mistaken party.

e$.$ Elaine will win because since it was a mutual mistake and they both had different

perceptions of the mileage, the court will allow the buyer to get her money back.
