While firing crackers, a child gets severe burns on the hand. What would you do?
Answer: A
Correct answer: Dip the child's hands in cold water till there is no more burning sensation.
A burn goes on damaging the skin from its own heat, so the first thing is to cool it: hold the hand under cold water until the burning stops. Ointments, ice or bandages applied first would each make matters worse.

You find that the person whom you call your friend has been cheating you. What would you do ?
Answer: C
Correct answer: Make him realise his mistake.
A friendship is worth trying to save. Bringing the cheating home to him gives him the chance to see what he has done and to mend it - more than either saying nothing or breaking with him without a word.

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.
