Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: Insufficient information to confirm promotion for Nidhi Mehta.
Evaluation of each required condition:
Years of service: 6 years → meets the requirement of at least 4 years.
Graduation: She is a graduate → meets the graduation requirement.
Interview score: 83% → exceeds the 65% requirement.
Promotion test: Passed → meets the requirement.
Working hours: Not stated. Requirement is 210 hours per month in the past year → missing information.
Pending enquiries/criminal record: None reported → meets the requirement.
Age: 32 → within the allowed range (above 28 and below 35).
Academic average: Not stated. Requirement is an overall average of 55% → missing information.
Conclusion and next steps:
Because the working-hours and academic-average requirements are not provided, you cannot confirm that she is eligible for promotion.
If it is confirmed that she worked at least 210 hours per month over the past year and her academic average is at least 55%, she meets all requirements and can be promoted.
If all other requirements are met but her academic average is below 55%, refer her to the CEO for a decision.
The senior manager referral rule applies only when the interview-score requirement is the exception described in the rules; that is not applicable here because her interview score is 83%.
If any mandatory condition is confirmed as failed (other than the specific referral exceptions), she is not eligible for promotion.
