    Yes, the offer was accepted before Barney had notice of the revocation.

    Explanation:

    Fred can revoke his offer at any time before acceptance (2 March), because there is no consideration to keep the offer open. However, Barney has called Fred to accept the offer, before receiving the revocation by mail which Barney has received on March 3
