Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution:
Given:
Age detail: She was 16 years old on 14 January 2009, so by 30 June 2010 she is still younger than 19 and does not meet the age requirement.
12th standard with Maths: 80% (satisfies the minimum 65% requirement but is below the 85% needed for the entrance-exam exception).
Entrance exam: Score is below 70%, so the entrance requirement is not met.
Fee: She can pay Rs. 25,000 at the time of admission, so the fee condition is satisfied.
Check each admission criterion:
Condition 1 (12th with Maths and ≥65%): Satisfied (80%).
Condition 2 (age ≥19 by 30 June 2010): Not satisfied (she is younger than 19).
Condition 3 (entrance ≥70%): Not satisfied (score is below 70%).
Condition 4 (pay Rs. 25,000 at admission): Satisfied.
Evaluate exceptions and special cases:
Exception for failing the entrance exam (raise to authority): This applies only if the candidate has ≥85% in 12th. She has 80%, so this exception does not apply.
Tentative admission when unable to pay full fee: This applies only when the candidate satisfies all other conditions but cannot pay the full fee and can pay half. Here she can pay the full fee and additionally fails age and entrance requirements, so tentative admission is not appropriate.
Final conclusion: She should not be admitted because she fails the age requirement and the entrance-exam requirement; neither the 12th-percentage exception nor the tentative-admission provision applies.
