It totally depends on the situation, if my one lie will be beneficial for 10 peoples and don't hurt any personal ego or prestige only then I can otherwise I will Never lie. Because Lie cannot remain hidden for a long time. It may be caught.

Usually I don't prefer lie but I know sometimes it's necessary to speak lie. Eg like- a doctor said to child that injection is not gonna hurt him. So I will check that my lie shouldn't be harming anybody if it's not then I will.

I will try to resolve the problem instead of lying. If I lie for my company soon or later the truth will reveal one day it may affect my career or my company's reputation. So, I will try to find the solution to the problem, rather lying.

No sir, I won' t because if I lie once it would eventually become a habit for me so if I lie for your company's benefit I may lie for my own benefit some day in your company.

Probably, I can say no. But in case my lie creates a positive impact on the company and this will help more people without hurting anyone, then I will lie.

It depends on the situation. My mom has said if your lies are beneficial to a person and at the same time it doesn't harm anyone else, you can do it.

Generally, I don't like to lie. But it depends on the situation. If it is important for the survival of the company and not harm to any others, yes I will lie for the company.

No, I won't lie. Lie is not a solution to any problem because if we lie one time you have to lie again and again to hide the previous lie. Also it cannot remain hidden for a long time. Lie cannot become a growth factor of company. So, I won't lie at any situation.
