Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
CONCEPT: In a selection/decision-table question, a candidate qualifies ONLY when EVERY mandatory condition is satisfied AND at least one of the listed alternative (OR) achievement conditions is satisfied exactly as stated — matching not just the type of achievement but also the specified tournament level (inter-college / inter-university / national) and the specified count. A near-miss at the wrong level, or with the wrong count, does not satisfy that specific OR-condition.
Age check: Diveyn was born on 2 May 1999. His 20th birthday (2 May 2019) falls after the cut-off date of 1 Feb 2019, so on 1 Feb 2019 he is 19 years old — this satisfies "more than 16 and less than 24 years".
Payment check: He is willing to pay Rs. 40,000 one-time as the entrance fee — Rs. 10,000 base plus the Rs. 30,000 additional amount. This exactly meets the "additional Rs. 30,000 entrance fee" condition, so the Rs. 1,000 monthly payment is waived. The payment condition is satisfied.
Achievement check: He scored 2 fifties representing his team as captain, but at state-level tournaments. Checking this against each of the five listed OR-conditions:
Condition 1 needs winning an inter-college or inter-university tournament while leading the team — no tournament win is mentioned for Diveyn at all.
Condition 2 needs a century or 2 fifties specifically in an inter-college tournament — his fifties were scored at the state level, a different tier from what this condition requires.
Condition 5 needs representing the state in national-level tournaments at least thrice — he has only played at the state level itself, not the national level.
Conditions 3 and 4 (leading the team at college-level tournaments thrice; an aggregate of 1000 runs or 10+ wickets at inter-college tournaments) are not supported by anything mentioned about Diveyn.
So none of the five OR-conditions is satisfied.
CROSS-CHECK: Even though Diveyn clears both mandatory conditions (age and payment), a decision table requires ALL mandatory conditions AND at least one OR-condition to hold together. Since the achievement OR-condition fails, membership cannot be granted regardless of the other two being satisfied — the club will not give him membership.
