Question

Read the following incident.

Lokesh had always been a class-topper in tests and examinations. However,

invariably, he used foul means during exams to gain those high marks.

Once, on the day of History examination, Lokesh realized that his classmate and

friend Farhan came all prepared for Maths instead of History. Farhan had become

desperate. So Lokesh offered to let him copy from his answer-sheet, since Farhan

sat just behind him.

Farhan refused. He said, ‘‘It’s all right even if I get a zero, but I can call it

my own zero. I do not want to score a single mark, unearned. Cheating in exams

is for cowards. Not me!’’
