Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Hotel Ritz
Reasoning (check each criterion and exception):
Coordinator: Deputy Director — satisfies the rank requirement.
Area: Statistics — one of the allowed areas.
Number of participants: 50 — satisfies the minimum of 50.
Fee per participant: total fee Rs.330,000 for 50 participants → 330000 ÷ 50 = Rs.6,600, which is ≥ Rs.5,000, so the fee criterion is satisfied.
Duration: 8 days — violates the requirement of not more than 7 days. The special rule for duration > 7 states such programmes are to be organized in Hotel Ritz.
Conclusion: Only the duration requirement is violated, and the exception for duration > 7 directs the programme to be organized in Hotel Ritz.
