You are a teacher in a University and are setting a question paper on a particular subject. One of your colleagues, whose son is preparing for the examination on that subject, comes to you and informs you that it is his son's last chance to pass that examination and whether you could help him by indicating what questions are going to be in the examination. In the past, your colleagues had helped you in another matter. Your colleagues informs you that his son will suffer from depression if he fails in this examination. In such circumstances, what would you do?

You are a teacher in a University and are setting a question paper on a particular subject. One of your colleagues, whose son is preparing for the examination on that subject, comes to you and informs you that it is his son's last chance to pass that examination and whether you could help him by indicating what questions are going to be in the examination. In the past, your colleagues had helped you in another matter. Your colleagues informs you that his son will suffer from depression if he fails in this examination. In such circumstances, what would you do? Correct Answer Explain to your colleagues that this would be violating the trust of the University authorities and you are not in a position to help him.

In such a circumstance stated above, I would explain to my colleague that this would be violating the trust of the University authorities and I am not in a position to help him.

Extending help in this matter will mean doing injustice to other candidates who have been preparing honestly. Also it is unethical and immoral.

It is better to explain to your colleague why you cannot help rather than to regret.

As the colleague asked for a favor expecting help and did not ask anything illegal to do, it would be inappropriate to report the conduct of your colleagues to the higher authorities.

Hence, ‘option 3’ is the correct answer.

Paddy transplantation in Punjab is a very hard labor-intensive back-breaking job. In the transplant season, teams of special people swarm the entire rural landscape employed by the farmers and can be seen laboring away in the fields under the hot sweltering sun. Farmer Jagtar Singh has a full-time help at his sprawling farm who goes by the name of Hari, and who hails from Allahabad, UP. During the paddy transplant season, it is up to Hari to rope in his brothers, sons, and cousins from his native village to complete the task well in time. All his people are skillful and masters of the trade and equally efficient at their jobs. So, this past season, this is how the work went. Hari started the work and after 't' hours was joined in by his brother Jaggi. After another 't' hours, Neelu, their cousin, also jumped into the fray. So, after every 't' hours, 1 person kept on joining the team of already working men, and this process kept on continuing till the completion of the work. The last person worked for 't' hours. In the last season, the very same men had completed the same work working 2 shifts of 12 hours all of them working simultaneously owing to some peculiar weather conditions and time constraints. Jagtar Singh is a fair and just paymaster which is why he faces no labor shortage at this crucial time and which is why the whole 'Hari clan' are more than happy to work for him and are at his beck and call. He pays each of them individually proportional to the work done by them. This time around, Hari received 11 times as much as Surinder, his eldest son, who was the last person to join in. In how much time was the work completed?

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, forworse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of groundwhich is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he hastried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without pre-established harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed ofthat divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his workmade manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and has done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shallgive him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope. According to the author, God is not looking for _____ to manifest his works.
