Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: if the candidate is not to be selected
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This item tests strict compliance with independent minima. Even strong academic credentials and an HR designation cannot offset a failure in the selection score when the rule demands ≥ 50%.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Evaluate each requirement independently. A single failure is decisive. Here there are two deficits (selection and tenure), so the decision is clear.
Step-by-Step Solution:
PG HR: 67% → Pass.Graduation: 60% → Pass.Selection: 45% < 50% → Fail.Experience: 4 years < 5 years → Fail.Outcome → Not to be selected.
Verification / Alternative check:
If either deficit were cured, the other would still block eligibility. No senior referral applies without ≥ 10 years and all minima satisfied.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“To be selected” contradicts failures. “Information inadequate” is wrong because all figures are provided. “Refer to Director-Personnel” needs ≥ 10 years experience and no deficits.
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming a senior title implies a waiver; assuming a high PG compensates for low selection marks; overlooking the tenure requirement.
Final Answer:
if the candidate is not to be selected
