Mr. A who is a civil contractor is a close relative of yours who has helped you on numerous occasions. He has applied for a public contract for the construction of a flyover. The tenders for the contract are to be examined by a committee in which you are also a member. You are not aware that Mr. A has applied for the contract till the day the name of the applicants was put before the committee. The tender is to be evaluated after a week. In such a situation you would

try to influence the other member of committee so that contract gets awarded to Mr. A. This way you would repay Mr. A for all his favours

inform the chairman of the committee about your close relationship with Mr. A and ask him to appoint some other person in your place in the committee. In this way there would be no charges of favouritism against you in case Mr. A eventually gets the contract

ask Mr. A to withdraw his tender lest somebody accuses you of favouritism

take no action and not inform the chairman or anybody about your relationship with Mr. A. Let the contract be awarded on merit
