You are moving across the road on a scooter when you observe that two boys on a bike snatch a lady's gold chain and ride away. You would :
Answer: B
Correct answer: chase the boys to catch hold of them.
You are on a scooter and the snatchers are getting away; giving chase is the only course with any chance of stopping them or of noting where they go. Standing by would leave the theft unopposed.

On reaching the railway station, you find that the train you wanted to catch is just to start and there is hardly any time for purchasing the ticket. The best thing for you is to :
Answer: A
Correct answer: rush to the train rather than miss it and inform the T.T.I. at the next stoppage about your inability to purchase the ticket.
Boarding and reporting to the travelling ticket examiner at the next stop saves the journey and settles the fare honestly. Missing the train would be a real loss, and travelling without ever meaning to pay would be dishonest.

While walking along the road you find a wallet containing money and an identity card. What would you do ?
Answer: D
Correct answer: Contact the owner using the identity card and return the wallet
The identity card names the owner, so returning it directly is both possible and the honest course. Handing it to a stranger passes on a responsibility that is yours, and leaving it invites someone less scrupulous to take it.

You are walking down the street and suddenly you see two hundred rupee notes on the pavement. What action will you take ?
Answer: D
Correct answer: Deposit it in the nearest police station.
The money is not yours, and the owner may come looking for it. Handing it in at the police station is the proper course - it keeps you honest and gives the owner a chance of recovering it.

Your bathroom tap id leaking and is a constant source of irritating noise. You would :
Answer: D
Correct answer: call a plumber to repair the tap.
A leaking tap wastes water and will go on doing so until it is mended. Calling someone who can mend it deals with the cause; putting up with the noise or tinkering with it yourself does not.

You find a lady's purse dropped on the road and on picking it up, find a thousand rupees inside. You would :
Answer: D
Correct answer: stand there and wait for the owner.
Someone who has just dropped a purse usually returns for it within minutes. Waiting where you found it is the likeliest way of restoring it to her, and the money stays safe meanwhile.

While sitting in a park, you observe that a smart young man comes to the place on a scooter, leaves it there and goes away with someone else on a motorbike. You would :
Answer: B
Correct answer: inform the police at the nearby booth.
A man who abandons a scooter in a public place and leaves on someone else’s bike may have stolen it or left something dangerous in it. Telling the police at the booth close by lets those whose business it is look into it.

You are playing football in a park. When you kick the ball, it strikes and breaks the window pane of a nearby house. You would:
Answer: D
Correct answer: apologise to the house owner and contribute to replace the glass.
The damage is yours and so is the responsibility. Owning it at once and offering to pay towards the new glass settles the matter honourably; running away or denying it would be dishonest and, in a neighbourhood, useless.

You are in a bus. The bus reaches your stop but still you have not purchased the ticket because of heavy rush. What will you do?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Call the conductor, give him the money and get the ticket.
Getting off without paying would be dishonest, whatever the crowd. Calling the conductor over and paying him where you stand settles the fare properly and takes only a moment.
