Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Final decision: Insufficient Data. The available information does not confirm all mandatory conditions for promotion.
Service years (at least 4): Nidhi has 6 years — satisfied.
Age (above 28 and below 35): Nidhi is 32 — satisfied.
Graduation: Nidhi is a graduate — satisfied.
Interview score (≥65): Nidhi scored 83% — satisfied.
Promotion test: Nidhi passed with 83% — satisfied.
No pending inquiry or criminal record: Nidhi has none — satisfied.
Worked 210 hours per month in the past year: Not stated — unknown (required).
Good academic record (average 55%): Not stated — unknown (required).
Conclusion: Two mandatory conditions are not provided, so promotion cannot be confirmed. The correct assessment is to mark the case as requiring insufficient data or request the missing information (monthly hours for the past year and cumulative academic average).
Additional note: The referral-to-senior-manager rule applies only when the only exception is failing the interview percentage, which is not applicable here. Referral to the CEO would apply if the academic average were below the required threshold, but the academic average is not given.
