Statement — “Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview; those who do not receive call letters need not correspond,” says the recruitment cell. Conclusions: I. If a candidate possesses required qualities conducive to the role, he/she must be sent a call letter. II. The recruitment cell will not respond to candidates who do not receive call letters.

Introduction / Context:The instruction clarifies (a) a necessary condition for being interviewed (shortlisting) and (b) an administrative stance (do not correspond if not called). We test the two conclusions.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Only shortlisted → interview call.
• Non-recipients of call letters → advised not to correspond.

Concept / Approach:Conclusion I equates “possesses required qualities” with “must be called,” which is not guaranteed if the applicant pool is large; shortlisting is competitive. Conclusion II follows: the cell has announced it will not entertain correspondence from those without call letters, i.e., no response policy.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) Distinguish eligibility from selection for interview.2) Accept the announced no-correspondence policy for non-shortlisted candidates.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Only I/Either/Both: overreach from eligibility to guaranteed invitation. Neither: ignores the explicit policy on correspondence.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing “qualified” with “shortlisted.”

Final Answer:Only conclusion II follows.
