Purushottam sends a batch of sweets to the police station across the street every day. Ratan constructed it as a bribe and wanted to stop this practice.
Which of the following arguments, IF TRUE, would BEST convince Ratan NOT to given up this practice?
Explanation:
Options 1 and 3 show that the Police is paying off the debt of free sweets by mitigating the burglary taking place at Purushottam's shop. Hence, it implicitly indicates bribery and cannot be considered for convincing Ratan. So, eliminate options 1 and 3. Option 2 is not a strong argument as it does not entirely rule out the possibility of the sweets being a bribery. So, eliminate option 2. Option 5 brings forth a competitive aspect of Purushottam's action which is uncalled for in the present scenario. So, eliminate option 5. Option 4 completely rules out the possibility of bribing the policemen as the same offering is sent to a school, an orphanage and a temple. Hence, the batch of sweets can be considered as a sweet gesture from Purushottam to people in general. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
