Ans. Bepin Babu changed his mind about meeting Chunnilal because he thought that Chunnilal would tell him something about Ranchi trip. But he became more miserable after the meeting because Chunnilal said that it was he who got a ticket booked for his Ranchi trip.
3. Bepin Babu lost consciousness at Hudroo Falls.
