Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Organize the programme in Hotel Sausy.
Step 1: Calculate fee per participant: 210000 ÷ 50 = Rs.4200
Step 2: Check each criterion against the programme details:
Coordinator rank: Joint Director — satisfies the coordinator requirement.
Programme area: Statistics — allowed (HRD, Advertising, Computers, or Statistics).
Duration: 5 days — not more than 7 days, so duration criterion is satisfied.
Number of participants: 50 — meets the requirement of at least 50 participants.
Fee per participant: Rs.4200 — this is less than Rs.5,000 but more than Rs.3,500.
Step 3: Apply the exception rules:
The fee condition (less than Rs.5,000 but more than Rs.3,500) triggers the rule that the programme should be organized in Hotel Sausy.
No other exception overrides this: duration is within limit (so Ritz not applicable), participant count is 50 (so Sideways participant rule not applicable), and the area is allowed (so the area/coordinator Sideways rule does not apply).
Conclusion: Since only the fee criterion is violated and that violation maps to Hotel Sausy, organize the programme in Hotel Sausy.
