Facts: 'X', an electrical engineer, was invited by his friend 'Y', to the factory where he was employed.

Hearing this, 'Y' asked 'X' to stay in the office room and rushed to the power room. 'X' however, decided to follow 'Y'. 'X' noticed that if the power supply through a particular electric line could be disconnected, the electrical leakage could be stopped which would prevent further damage.
