Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: This is a decision-table eligibility problem: a candidate must satisfy every MANDATORY gate condition (here, age and fee) AND at least one of five OPTIONAL numbered conditions; each optional condition must be matched to its exact wording - the required count, whether it says 'more than' or 'at least', and the specific tournament level named (inter-college, college-level, or national).
Mandatory age condition: Bharat is 17, which is between 16 and 24 as on 1st Feb 2019, so this condition is met.
Mandatory fee condition: Bharat is willing to pay Rs. 10000 entrance fee plus Rs. 1000 monthly, so this condition is also met.
Condition 1 (won an inter-college/inter-university tournament while leading the team): not mentioned anywhere for Bharat, so this is not satisfied.
Condition 2 (a century or 2 fifties in inter-college cricket): no batting score of this kind is given for Bharat, so this is not satisfied.
Condition 3 (led the team at college-level tournaments at least thrice): not mentioned for Bharat, so this is not satisfied.
Condition 4 (more than 10 wickets at inter-college tournaments): Bharat has only 8 wickets, and they come from college-level matches rather than inter-college tournaments, so this fails on both the count and the tournament level.
Condition 5 (represented the state at national level at least thrice with a remarkable record): Bharat has done this 4 times with a remarkable bowling record, which clears the 'at least thrice' threshold, so this condition IS satisfied.
Cross-check: Exactly one of the five optional conditions holds - condition 5 - and since the two mandatory conditions are already met, satisfying this single optional condition is sufficient. Bharat is therefore granted membership on the basis of condition 5, matching the saved key.
