Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Solution: Evaluate the given proposal against each criterion.

  • Coordinator rank: Assistant Director — does not meet the requirement (must be Deputy Director or Joint Director).

  • Programme area: HRD — meets the allowed areas (HRD, Advertising, Computers, Statistics).

  • Duration: 4 days — meets the duration requirement (not more than 7 days).

  • Fee per participant: Rs.8,000 — meets the fee requirement (not less than Rs.5,000).

  • Number of participants: 60 — meets the participant requirement (at least 50).

Only the coordinator rank criterion fails. Check the special rule that applies when all other criteria are fulfilled except the coordinator rank:

  • If the coordinator is of lower rank (Assistant Director) but the fee per participant is more than Rs.7,000, the programme is to be organized in Hotel Taj.

Conclusion: Since all criteria except the coordinator rank are satisfied and the fee is Rs.8,000 (> Rs.7,000), the applicable rule places the programme in Hotel Taj.
