Exceptions: If all other criteria are fulfilled except the stated condition, use the following rule:
I. If only criterion C fails because the duration is more than 7 days, organize the programme in Hotel Ritz.

III. If only criterion E fails because the number of participants is less than 50 but more than 30, organize the programme in Hotel Sideways.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Key check: All mandatory criteria must be known before applying the final hotel decision.
Duration = 5 days, so criterion C is satisfied.
Participants = 55, so criterion E is satisfied.
Fee = Rs.8,000, so criterion D is satisfied and the Assistant Director fee exception could be relevant.
Coordinator = Assistant Director, so the normal coordinator-rank criterion A is not satisfied, but exception II may apply if the remaining criteria are fulfilled.
Programme area is not given, so criterion B cannot be verified.
Because the directions say not to assume anything, the missing programme area makes the decision incomplete.
Final answer: The data is inadequate.
