SSC Selection Post 2025 PYQ — Question 93

SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 29th July 2025 - Shift 1 • Reasoning • Q93

If a friend is caught cheating in an exam, what is the best course of action?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is "Encourage them to study."

After being caught in an exam, the best way to help your friend realize their mistake and avoid repeating it in the future is to encourage them to study hard so they can pass on their own.

Ignoring it: This is not a sign of a good friend, as it may cause your friend to choose the wrong path again.

Informing the teacher: Since your friend has already been caught, there's no point in informing the teacher separately.

Involvement in cheating: This is completely wrong and unethical.
