Multiple choice

At the railway station, you are waiting to board the Rajdhani Express to Mumbai. A man approaches you saying that he needs to reach Mumbai as soon as possible as his son had an accident and he is in I.C.U. He requests you to give your ticket to him as both of you are of nearly the same age. He is willing to pay many times the cost of the ticket to you. The airport is shut down due to heavy fog and your business in Mumbai can wait for a couple of days.

Under these circumstances, what would be the most ethical decision on your part?

  1. Take up the man on his offer and give him your ticket.

  2. Advise him to wait for the airport to start operating again.

  3. Give him your ticket but take only the price of the ticket from him.

  4. Approach the Station Master with your consent for transfer of the ticket to the man's name.

Explanation

Transferring a ticket privately is often illegal or against railway rules. Approaching the Station Master ensures the transfer is handled through official, legal channels, maintaining integrity while helping the person in need.
