Answer #1

33. In this case, the property or asset belonging to one has been used by the defendant for purposes other than what it is intended to.  

So, this is the clear case of intentional tort called as "conversion"

It cannot be negligence as it is wilful and voluntary. Also, it neither causes nuisance to plaintiff nor is it a wrongful interfernce to cause breach of any company contract. Hence, other options are ruled out.  

Option B) is correct.

34.

B) The Plaintiff should win as he was using the car for sole driving purpose and that has resulted in him getting injured. Thus, the very act of using the defective product had caused injury to the customer. Hence, the case should be ruled in favor of the plaintiff.
