Your friend has not invited you to his marriage party. You will :
Answer: C
Correct answer: send him your best wishes.
An invitation may have gone astray, or been forgotten in the bustle of a wedding. Sending your good wishes keeps the friendship whole and costs you nothing; taking offence would end it over what may be an accident.

While you board a train at the station, you find a suitcase beneath your seat. You would :
Answer: A
Correct answer: report the matter to the police.
An unattended suitcase on a train may belong to someone who has forgotten it, or it may be there for a worse reason. Reporting it to the police leaves both possibilities in the right hands rather than in yours.

You have been given an assignment with a deadline you are certain cannot be met. What would you do ?
Answer: A
Correct answer: Tell your superior at once what is achievable and by when
Raising the difficulty early gives your superior time to reallocate work or adjust the schedule, and offering a realistic alternative keeps the response constructive rather than merely negative. Staying silent turns a solvable problem into a failure discovered too late.

You are travelling in a bus and notice that a passenger who has just got down has left a bag behind. What would you do ?
Answer: C
Correct answer: Hand the bag to the conductor and tell him where the passenger got down
The conductor is the responsible authority on the bus and has a procedure for lost property, and naming the stop gives the owner the best chance of recovering it. Opening the bag invades privacy, and leaving or keeping it both fail the owner.

While attending your friend's party, you see your friend's muffler catching fire from the candle on the table behind him. You would :
Answer: C
Correct answer: rush and taking out the muffler from his neck, drop it and pour water on it.
The fire is on him, so it must come off him first - then it can be put out safely on the ground. Pouring water while the muffler is still round his neck, or merely warning him, would leave him burning for the seconds that matter.

You notice that a junior colleague keeps repeating the same mistake in his work. What would you do ?
Answer: C
Correct answer: Point out the mistake privately and show him the correct method
A private correction preserves the colleague’s dignity while actually fixing the cause, which repeated silent corrections by you never would. Escalating first, or raising it publicly, is disproportionate to a mistake that has not yet been pointed out even once.

While travelling in a train, you observe some college students pulling the alarm chain simply to get down at their desired point. You would :
Answer: A
Correct answer: with the help of some passengers, check them from doing so.
Pulling the chain for one’s own convenience endangers the train and delays everyone on it. Acting alone against a group is unwise, but with the other passengers behind you the students can be stopped.

You are driving your car on the road when you hit against a fruit vendor's cart. You would :
Answer: C
Correct answer: pay the fruit vendor for the damage done to him.
The damage is yours, and the vendor’s stock is his living. Paying him for what you have destroyed is the honest course, and settles the matter on the spot.

You are the guest at a dinner. The host asks you to take one more chapati after your stomach is full. You would :
Answer: C
Correct answer: politely say that the food was too good and you have already eaten much.

You are passing by a river and you know swimming. Suddenly, you hear the cry of a drowning child. You would :
Answer: A
Correct answer: dive into the river to save him.
You can swim, a child is drowning, and every second counts. Going in at once is the one course that may save the life; waiting for someone else, or looking for a diver, costs the time the child has not got.
