Humorous Interview Exchange Between a Young Man and a Police Officer

A Witty Encounter During a Police Job Interview

A young man attended an interview for a police position where the officer posed a question: if apples cost 150 rupees per kilogram, how much would 100 grams cost?

Although the young man struggled with math, he cleverly replied, "Sir, if I have to pay for 100 grams of apples, then what’s the point of being a police officer?"

The officer, undeterred, continued, "Alright, let’s say your wife goes to the market. How much would 100 grams of apples cost her at the rate of 150 rupees per kilogram?"

The young man confidently responded, "Sir, I know my wife better than you do. If she wants 100 grams, she will definitely ask for the price of 100 grams!"

The officer, still probing, said, "Let’s assume your brother goes to buy them. What would he pay?"

The young man replied, "Don’t even mention him, sir. He’s completely useless and a lazybones who just lounges around all day."

The officer persisted, asking, "What if your father goes to buy apples? What would be the cost for 100 grams?"

The young man chuckled, "Sir, my father doesn’t even have teeth left! He eats bananas, so he wouldn’t buy apples or even ask for the price."

The officer, now frustrated, asked, "If no one is home and your sister goes to buy apples, what would happen?"

The young man replied, "Sir, I married her off five years ago. It’s up to her and her husband to decide whether to buy apples, lychees, oranges, or mangoes. What does it matter to me?"

He added, "Besides, I’ll be the one working, not my entire family!"

The officer’s patience was wearing thin as he exclaimed, "If an ordinary person goes to buy apples, how much would 100 grams cost?"

The young man concluded, "Sir, the government and our system have left ordinary people with nothing to eat but salt and bread. They can only set up a stall to sell apples, while the privileged ones enjoy eating them."
