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.

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.

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 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.

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.
