A Clever man

 There were once four friends who went to a party together, bearing in mind that they had their exam tomorrow, but they took it casually and didn't bother studying. They spent the rest of their time dozing off and hanging out, not even considering the exam. Finally, when the exam day came, they met a while before school and arranged an excuse of what they would tell their teacher. They assembled a plan and hoped it would trick the teacher. 


When they reached the school they said to the teacher all at once, in which they thought was a tired and injured voice, "Sir, we went on a camping trip a few days before the exam. We hoped we would reach home in time but when the day came for us to leave the tire of our car burst and we were forced to drag our car all the way from there to here. We hope you will understand and postpone our test." 

The teacher, who was a clever man by nature, suspected the four friends but he let them off and gave them two days to prepare for the exam. The friends, overjoyed by their success, went joyfully home and prepared hard for their exams. When the time came to attempt the test the students approached the teacher. He said " Your examination will take place in separate rooms to ensure that you don't cheat. The examination paper is ...... different from last time so in case you have asked any of your fellow classmates about the exam, it will be completely useless. And oh your phone and any other communication item will be taken from you." The four friends, over-confident in their preparation, agreed to the terms and sat in their designated seats and after executing the terms, waited for the exam to arrive. 

When the eyes of the students befell on the parchment, they were completely stunned for a minute or so and after coming back to their senses they looked up horrified at each of their individual examiners. They all smiled widely. The question paper consisted of only two questions:-

1. What is your name?

2. Which tire was punctured when you went on your camping trip?

Options:-

a) Top left
b) Top right
c) Bottom left
d) Bottom right

The students, ashamed of being outsmarted by their own teacher,  turned to solve the parchment knowing that each and every one of them would be getting severe punishment for their carelessness.
