Question: Mukesh Routray, a shopkeeper in a remote village was surprised to read in the newspaper, his only source of information, about harmful chemicals in Crunchy Chips. He had stocked a large quantity of Crunchy Chips for the forthcoming festive season. He also realized that people in his village are completely unaware of this controversy. He had the following options:
Sell the entire stock at a discount before the news spreads.
Destroy the entire stock and advise customers not to buy ths product from other shops as well.
Donate the entire stock of Crunchy Chips to a local orphanage.
Inform customers about the controversy but understate its seriousness.
Ignore the news and sell the stock at the forthcoming festive season as planned.
Explore the veracity of the report and then take decision
If arranged from ethical to unethical which of the following is DEFINITELY the WRONG order?
The question here asks for a definite wrong order and hence the sequence with an illogical order gives the answer to this question.
The sequence 6,1,4 is an improper sequence when arranged from ethical to unethical as the entire sequence appears absurd. Despite exploring the veracity of the report, selling the stock at a discounted rate before the spread of the news will completely mislead the innocent customers. Moreover, after selling them the stock, informing the customers about the controversy will not only rob them off their money but also break their trust in the shopkeeper. Hence, the order is totally irrational.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
