  • Question
  • A person lives in a far off village which is almost two hours by bus. The villager's neighbor is a very powerful landlord who is trying to occupy the poor villager's land by force. You are the District Magistrate and busy in a meeting called by a local minister. The villager has come all the way, by bus and on foot, to see you and give an application seeking protection from the powerful landlord. The villager keeps on waiting outside the meeting hall for an hour. You come out of the meeting and are rushing to another meeting. The villager follows you to submit his application. What would you do?


  • Options
  • A. Tell him to wait for another two hours till you come back from your next meeting
  • B. Tell him that the matter is actually to be dealt by a junior officer and that he should give the application to him
  • C. Call one of your senior subordinate officers and ask him to solve the villager's problem
  • D. Quickly take the application from him, ask him a few relevant questions regarding his problem and then proceed to the meeting

  • Correct Answer
  • Quickly take the application from him, ask him a few relevant questions regarding his problem and then proceed to the meeting 

    Explanation

    Here, we have two objectives to achieve at the same time.
    Firstly, we have to help the villager who has come from far off. Secondly, we have to reach the second meeting on time. Option (d) allows us to achieve both.
    Option (c) also achieves the same objectives though it means that the villager will have to wait for a little more time.
    Option (a) and (b) are wrong as, they will increase the troubles of the villager who might not be able to wait longer.
