Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: In a selection or decision-table reasoning puzzle, a candidate must satisfy every stated condition to be selected outright. When the passage explicitly grants a referral exception for failing one particular condition, failing ONLY that condition sends the case to the named referral authority instead of an outright rejection. Failing any condition for which no referral exception is stated means the candidate is simply not selected, regardless of how many other conditions are met.
Condition (a) - qualification: Rama Nath holds a post-graduate degree in commerce with 70% marks, above the required 65%, so condition (a) is satisfied.
Condition (b) - age: He is 24 years old, which lies within the permitted 22-28 year range, so condition (b) is satisfied.
Condition (c) - English: He speaks only Hindi and Tamil, not English, so condition (c) is NOT satisfied.
Condition (d) - deposit: He is able to pay the Rs 15,000 deposit, so condition (d) is satisfied.
Condition (e) - contract: He is willing to sign the 2-year contract, so condition (e) is satisfied.
Condition (f) - entrance exam: He scored 65% in the entrance test, above the required 60%, so condition (f) is satisfied.
Cross-check against the referral clauses: the passage grants a referral to the General Manager ONLY for failing condition (a), and a referral to the Director ONLY for failing condition (d). Rama Nath satisfies both (a) and (d) - the condition he fails is (c), for which no referral exception exists.
Result: Since Rama Nath fails a condition for which the passage provides no referral route, he cannot be selected and cannot be referred either. He is not to be selected for the management trainee position.
