The correct answer with a full explanation. Practice Decision Making questions as a quiz →

You are a government representative and a member of a committee that has been given responsibility of selecting young artists for awarding two year government scholarships. An influential artist of high reputation is also a member on this committee as an expert. After studying the shortlisted artists for this prestigious state scholarship, another member brought to your notice that many artists are from the institute that is managed by this reputed artist or institutes that are managed by his past students. You would :

1)talk to the artist and request him to make selection criteria public for avoiding biased selection.
2)maintain silence with respect to selection of awardees of this year and then publish the misdeeds of this person.
3)halt the work of the committee by dissolving it immediately and form a new committee.
4)request all the members of the present committee to go through the original list again and with unbiased approach freshly shortlist the candidates.✓ Correct

Decision Making: MPSC gives marks for every option, with no negative marking.

(1) 1.5 marks(2) 0 marks(3) 1 marks(4) 2.5 marks

The concern is possible bias in the shortlist, so the fair fix is for the whole committee to re-examine the original list without bias, which corrects the selection without accusing anyone and earns full marks. Asking the artist alone to publish criteria (1.5) is weaker, dissolving the committee (1) overreacts, and staying silent now to expose him later (0) lets an unfair selection go ahead.
