Read the caselet given below and answer the questions given after the caselet.
Marya and Shreya are very close friends and work in the same department at Ulfan Ltd, a marketing advertisement company. One Sunday evening both of them were driving down in Shrey's car to attend a party hosted by their CEO.
CEO advised Shreya and Marya three days before to attend his party. It was a Sunday evening, and Marya had already a few prior commitments, however, since the party was hosted by the CEO, the most powerful authority of the company, Marya canceled those commitments and though not happy about it, she considered it as an official obligation to attend the party. However, Shreya was highly excited to attend the party. Shreya has been networking with her seniors for her promotion and she was desperate to be in the good book of the CEO. She was looking forward to this opportunity to network with the CEO. The CEO is extremely time-conscious, he neither wants to be late to attend any meeting or event nor does he like others to do so.
While driving down to the party, they were getting late. As the road had very limited traffic, Shreya speeded up the car much exceeding the prescribed speed limit. Marya asked Shreya to slow down but Shreya did not listen. Marya could see at a visible distance one old man was crossing the road and she immediately alerted Shreya. Shreya did not pay any heed, looked at her watch, and sped up further. Within a few minutes, her car hit the old man who was crossing the road and threw the man at the roadside with a visible flow of blood. Marya immediately tried to hold the steering but could not stop Shreya as she sped up further. Marya screamed, "Please stop, the man is badly injured; let's take him to the hospital". Shreya shouted back "Do you want me to go to jail? I am on the steering, you are not. Thats why are you so sympathetic. No one has seen us, and no one can trace us. Let's go fast. We are getting very late. The CEO possibly would get angry". Marya further screamed, Please for Gods sake stop! Lets drive back! Give me the car key while we get down, Id claim I was driving. But Shreya further speeded up. Marya felt helpless and attempted to get out of the car.
