Joe was recently promoted to the position of District Manager of Computer Operations for a
large company. Mary, Joe's supervisor, calls him to her office. She has just been informed
that the CEO has received an anonymous letter from an employee. This letter states that a
recently installed (and very expensive) system does not perform as expected and has not
achieved the expected results.
Joe has been aware that the system's actual performance is really as described in the
anonymous letter. Joe had reported this performance problem to Mary before. Although
Mary had listened to Joe, she had been the original supporter of the system and continually
provides only positive feedback to the CEO on its performance.
Mary tells Joe that the CEO expects a reply to the letter. She tells Joe to draft the reply. It
should say that the system is performing as projected and that all savings portrayed in the
original justification documents are being achieved. She says the documentation provided
with his reply should support those statements. `
Joe is upset by this directive. He feels that upper management is being misinformed in the
interest of protecting a questionable decision. He approaches Mary with his concern. She
says that if he does not provide the reply as requested, she will have serious doubts about his
ability to perform the functions of a District Manager for the company. Joe has worked hard
to achieve this position and is very worried about her statement.
1. Provide the reply as Mary requested.
2. Provide an accurate reply (which Mary would intercept and stop). 3. Refuse to write a false report
AshleyMadison.com is an online dating website meant for married people who want extra-marital relationship. Its slogan is "Life is short. Have an affair." In 2015, A hacker group "The Impact Team" stole the user data and threatened to leak it unless the owners stopped this "unethical" website that encourages adultery.
Social scientists who study marriage and fidelity say that Ashley Madison doesn't create a market for cheating, the site only helps facilitate our biological predisposition to get a new partner for procreation. Male affairs tend to be physically-driven, while women have affairs for emotional reasons. Just like water will find its level, such male or female will find extra-marital relationship irrespective of Ashley Madison website runs or shuts down. Hence it is not 'unethical' for an entrepreneur to own and operate such website.
1. Is Impact team's action justifiable on ethical grounds? Yes/No and Why?
2.Do you agree with the views given by Social scientists in above passage? Yes/No and Why?

Politician: All nations that place a high tax on income produce thereby a negative incentive for technological
innovation, and all nations in which technological innovation is hampered inevitably fall behind in the international
arms race. Those nations that, through historical accident or the foolishness of their political leadership, wind up
in a strategically disadvantageous position are destined to lose their voice in world affairs. So if a nation wants to
maintain its value system and way of life, it must not allow its highest tax bracket to exceed 30 percent of income.
Each of the following, if true, weakens the politician’s argument EXCEPT:
Allowing one’s country to lose its technological edge, especially as concerns weaponry, would be foolish rather than merely a historical accident.
The top level of taxation must reach 45 percent before taxation begins to deter inventors and industrialists from introducing new technologies and industries.
Making a great deal of money is an insignificant factor in driving technological innovation.
Falling behind in the international arms race does not necessarily lead to a strategically less advantageous position.
Those nations that lose influence in the world community do not necessarily suffer from a threat to their value system or way of life.

In a right angled triangle , take a point on hypotenuse and draw parallel lines to its sides. We will get two triangles and a square. If the ratio of area of bigger triangle to square is m , then find the ratio of area of smaller triangle to that of square ?
Lottery balls are numbered and coloured balls. In the famous Lotto, six numbered balls are drawn at random from 49 balls. In each ticket one needs to guess the six numbers that would be drawn. If no correct guesses are received the prize money is carried to the next draw. It is not uncommon to see prize money accumulating to several millions of dollars. An urn contains m white and n black balls. A ball is drawn at random and is put back into the urn along with k additional balls of the same colour as that of the ball drawn. A ball is again drawn at random. The probability of drawing a white ball now:
a) Does not depend on k b) Increases with k c) Decreases with k d) Cannot be determined without additional information
