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?

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.
