Bishruta (Question: 221891.1 )

Solution wrong..It is clearly mentioned that the merchant could not understand the prayer of Nasiruddin..

Question:
DIRECTIONS: You have a brief passage with 5 questions each.  Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


Nasiruddin was the cleverest man in Khorasan. One of his neighbours was a merchant. He was a great miser. One day the merchant saw Nasiruddin praying inside his house. He was praying in a loud voice asking God to be kind to him and send him 9999 dinars, not a dinar more, or a dinar less. If God sent him even one dinar more, he would return all the money. The merchant could not understand Nasiruddin's prayer. He decided to find out the truth. He put 10,000 dinars in a bag and threw it into Nasiruddin’s house. Nasiruddin found the bag and counted the money carefully. He profusely thanked God for giving him 10,000 dinars, when he had asked for only 9999 dinars. The merchant heard Nasiruddin. He realized that Nasiruddin was going to keep the money. He went to Nasiruddin’s house. He called him a liar and demanded that his 10,000 dinars be returned to him. Nasiruddin refused. He claimed that he was not a fool to believe that anyone would throw away 10,000 dinars just to test someone’s honesty. It was his money given by God in answer to his prayer. The merchant decided to take the matter to the judge. Nasiruddin said that he had no clean clothes to wear.

The merchant gave him some of his own clothes to wear. Then they went to see the judge.

The merchant told the judge what had happened. Nasiruddin argued that the merchant was mad. Ever since he lost a lot of money a few months back, he had been talking like a mad man. The judge asked Nasiruddin whether he could prove his charge. He said, “Just now he told you that I stole his money. Next he is going to tell you that these clothes which I am wearing  are also his.” The merchant shouted angrily. “Of course, these clothes are mine !”

The judge thought for a few minutes. Then he said, “The case is false. Nasiruddin has not stolen his neighbour’s money. The merchant is mad. He should be sent to a mental hospital.”

The merchant threw the bag of money into Nasiruddin’s house because-
Options:
A) he was a miser 
B) he found Nasiruddin’s prayer interesting
C) he wanted to surprise Nasiruddin by helping him
D) he wanted to catch Nasiruddin red-handed stealing the money
Solution:
Ans:(b)
