A and B are competing for the valedictorian of their batch in a prestigious school. Based on the overall computation of their grades and assessment on their extra-curricular performance, A would be the valedictorian and B as the salutatorian. Both also applied for a scholarship program in Harvard but it was B’s application that was accepted. Although in case B would not accept it, he can waive it in favor of the valedictorian who happens to be A. A desperately wanted the scholarship. It was his dream to acquire his education in Harvard. B on the other hand desperately wanted to be the valedictorian to prove to the world that he is the most intelligent and the best student of the batch.  A knowing B’s dream of a lifetime of being the class valedictorian, offered him his right of being a valedictorian and settle as the salutatorian and waive it if B is willing to waive and transfer his right for the scholarship to A. If you were B, will you accept the offer?

A and B are competing for the valedictorian of their batch in a prestigious school. Based on the overall computation of their grades and assessment on their extra-curricular performance, A would be the valedictorian and B as the salutatorian. Both also applied for a scholarship program in Harvard but it was B’s application that was accepted. Although in case B would not accept it, he can waive it in favor of the valedictorian who happens to be A.
