Answer 1

Agree to give the bribe since it is a long journey	Incorrect	Giving and taking bribes is an Offense punishable under law and also it's morally and ethically wrong from both sides.
Refuse to give the bribe and travel sitting in your allotted seats	Correct	This is the correct way to move as it follows proper rules and procedures and no wrong is being done.
Forcibly occupy the berths by threatening the occupants	Incorrect	Forcibly occupying someone else's seat is an offense punishable under law.
Call your friend who is an officer in the railways to ask the ticket checker to give you a berth anyway, without paying the bribe	Incorrect	This would be wrong as you would be asking your friend to break his moral code of conduct and break rules to help you.
