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; anything else costs the time the child has not got.

You are playing in your friend's house, when he gets stuck with a naked electric wire. You would:
Answer: C
Correct answer: pull off the wire with a wooden stick.
Touching him or the wire would put the current through you as well. Wood does not conduct, so pushing the wire away with a wooden stick breaks the contact without adding a second casualty.

You are interviewed for a new job. Which of the following questions is most important to you?
Answer: D
Correct answer: All the above are equally important.
Pay, prospects, the nature of the work and the people you would work with all bear on whether a job suits you, and a decision made on one alone is usually regretted. Weighing them together is what makes the choice sound.

You are alone in the house and there is quite a danger of thieves around. Just then, you hear a knock at the door. You would:
Answer: B
Correct answer: first peep out from the window to confirm whether you know the person.
Opening the door blind, when thieves are about, is the one thing not to do; and ignoring the knock leaves you knowing nothing. Looking out first tells you who is there and costs no risk at all.

You are living in a college hostel. The dal served to you in the mess has a lot of stones. What would you do?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Bring the matter to the notice of mess incharge.
The stones are in the food the mess serves, so the person who can have it put right is the one in charge of the mess. Complaining to him deals with the cause, and with tomorrow’s meal as well as today’s.

While travelling in a train, you notice a man from the coach behind yours fall of the train. You would:
Answer: A
Correct answer: pull the alarm chain so that the train may stop and the man may be helped.
This is exactly what the alarm chain is for. A man who has fallen from a moving train needs help at once, and stopping the train is the only way to bring it to him.

You are a receptionist at the front desk of a hospital. An emergency accident case is brought in by some people. What will you do?
MPPSC State Service - 2018,
Answer: D
The receptionist should call the doctor on duty, inform the police and start the admission procedure.
In an emergency the patient's life comes first, so the doctor must be called at once, while admission formalities run alongside rather than delaying treatment. An accident is also a medico-legal case, so the police must be informed as a legal requirement.
Completing admission before calling the doctor delays urgent care. Waiting for the police neglects the patient. Calling the doctor and starting admission is right as far as it goes but omits the legally required police intimation, which is why the fuller option is keyed.

There is an aggressive stray dog in your residential area. One of your neighbours feeds this dog in front of your house even after repeated requests not to do so as it creates a nuisance for you. What will you do?
MPPSC State Service - 2018,
Answer: C
The best course is to apprise the neighbour of the law, request him not to feed in front of your house and if required put a police complaint.
This deals with the nuisance through persuasion first and lawful means after. Stray animals are protected, and residents may feed them, but not in a way that causes nuisance to others; explaining this and, if needed, approaching the authorities keeps the dispute within the law.
Killing the dog is cruel and illegal. Abusing and fighting with the neighbour escalates the conflict. Merely warding off the dog does not address the cause, since the feeding continues in front of your house.

You are walking by on a street. Suddenly a fight breaks up between two people. What will you do?
MPPSC State Service - 2018,
Answer: B
The sensible response is to call the police and inform about the incident.
A street fight can turn violent, and the police are equipped and authorised to handle it. Reporting it promptly helps prevent injury while keeping you out of danger.
Simply taking cover ignores the duty of a responsible citizen to report. Making a video for social media is insensitive and does nothing to stop the fight. Intervening personally without knowing the situation can put you and others at risk.
