Q1.
If you had to send money to someone, which method would you choose — using a phone, Money Order or some other mode? Why?
Answer

Both ways work. Which is better depends on who is receiving the money.

Way of sendingGood becauseNot so good because
Phone (online)The money reaches in a few seconds, even at night. You need not go anywhere.Both people need a bank account, a phone and the internet.
Money OrderThe postman brings the cash to the person’s door. No phone or account is needed.It takes several days, and you must go to the post office.
Sample answer: I would send the money by phone. Mama ji sent money to my mother that way for Raksha Bandhan, and it reached in seconds. But if I had to send money to my great-grandmother in the village, I would use a Money Order. She has no smartphone, and the postman gives her the cash at home.
Give a reason like this: the best way is the one that suits the person who is receiving the money.
Safety tip: never share your PIN or a phone code with anyone, even on a call.
