Answer / sania
Acceptance is to offer what a lighted match is to train of gunpowder. The position is related to revocation of proposal or acceptance has been describe by Anson in the following words:- this statement primarily good under the English low. here gunpowder = offer and lighted match stick = acceptance. when a lighted match is to train of gunpowder ,it explode and something happen. which cannot be undone,similarly an offer once accepted cannot be revoked. But so long a lighted match is to shown the gunpowder remain insert and can be removed , similarly an offer can remove before its acceptance. But in Indian Contract act ,acceptance can be revoked by resorting to quicker means of communication ,So that offeror learn about before its acceptance. Thus the above statement doesn't hold in relation to revocation of acceptance under Indian Law.

Answer/Kapil Yadav
ACCEPTANCE TO AN OFFER IS WHAT A LIGHTED MATCHSTICK TO A TRAIN OF GUN POWDER.COMMENT.
ANS:
The above statement is basically an analogy i.e.it is a comparison of two different phenomenons that are similar in some way. The two important or main phenomenons in this statement are “offer” and “acceptance”. To understand the meaning of this analogy it is important to know what an offer and acceptance is. They are briefly defined under the contract act as:
OFFER: (Contract Act 1872)
Offer is also termed as “proposal”. itis defined as “when one person signifies to another person his willingness to do or not to do something with a view to obtain the assent of the other person, he is said to make a proposal”
ACCEPTANCE: (Contract Act 1872)“
Aproposal is said to be accepted when the person to whom the proposal is made signifies his assent thereto. A proposal when accepted becomes a promise.”Both of these definitions show the importance of offer and acceptance. The above statement or the analogy depicts the situation related to revocation or cancellation of the proposal or an offer and an acceptance.It describes that when an acceptance is being made, against an offer, it becomes mandatory for thefirst party to fulfill his promise. Therefore such an acceptance produces something which cannot be recalled or reversed.

The contract law has stated that offer and acceptance are two important element for enforcement. In other words only offer and only acceptance has no meaning i.e an offer without acceptance is valueless and an acceptance without offer is vague. A lighted match and gunpowder forming a sound. A lighted match without gunpowder become valueless when time passed out. The combination of two will brusted out. So, it is stated that acceptance to the offer is to what a lighted match to the train of gunpowder.
