Question: Rakesh, in his current job, came across incidences of bribing by private sector officials. He wondered if he might have to bribe government officials while at G&P. He reflected on his interview with G&P:
The interviewers were puzzled how Rakesh could manage his EMIs with his current income.
One interviewer was constantly probing how Rakesh managed to meet his project deadlines with little cooperation from his subordinates.
“What would you do if your project has a fortnight’s deadline and it takes a month to obtain a permit?,” asked another interviewer.
A question that intrigued Rakesh was, “Should a pack of dacoits share their loot with one of their gang, who had killed a bystander against their motto ‘Thou shalt not kill’?”
Which of the following sequences of the above statements is in the MOST appropriate DESCENDING order of bribing undertones?
Since the question talks about the descending order of bribing undertones, we need to choose an option which will have the most bribing undertone. From amongst the given options, question 3 has the most bribing undertone as a permit which needs a month can only be obtained in a fortnight by giving bribes. Thus we need an option which has 3 as the starting question. Thus options 1, 2 and 3 can be eliminated. Between options 1 and 4, the former has a more bribing undertone than the latter as it implies that Rakesh could not maintain his lifestyle in the current income and hence must be having some other source of income. This should be followed by option 2 as Rakesh must grease palms to get his project completed on time without the cooperation of his subordinates. Thus the correct order is 3, 1, 2, 4.
