Section 21 and 22 both can be discussed here. Here it is answer based on Section 22. Section 22(2): A company may, by writing 1[under its common seal,if any] authorize any person, either generally or in respect of any specified matters, as its attorney to execute other deeds on its behalf in any place either in or outside India. [Provided that in case a company does not have a common seal, the authorization under this sub-section shall be made by two directors or by a director and the Company Secretary, wherever the company has appointed a Company Secretary]
So if we refer section 21, the answer will that contract will valid and as he is a key managerial person and therefore the company cannot deny its obligation Then the answer will be opposite of what is given in the textbook. So will I get mark if I refer section 21

But such key personnel should be duly authorised by Board as per Sec 21. And Sec 22 provides the authorisation should be under common seal. Considering both Mr.Parag had no authority to sign and thus such agreement has no binding on the company
The answer also discussed the same in the conclusion given, that their should be a common seal affixed and it is not stated in the question Mr. Parag is not legally entitled to execute deeds on behalf of company and the company can deny its liability as partner.
