Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Evaluate each criterion against the proposal:

  • Coordinator: Deputy Director — satisfies the requirement that the programme coordinator be of the rank of Deputy Director or Joint Director.

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

  • Duration: 4 days — within the maximum allowed duration of 7 days.

  • Fee per participant: Rs.4,000 — this is less than Rs.5,000 but more than Rs.3,500, so it violates the main fee requirement and falls into the special fee range rule.

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

Conclusion: The only criterion not met is the fee requirement; the fee per participant is Rs.4,000, which falls into the special case for fees less than Rs.5,000 but more than Rs.3,500.

According to the rules, when the fee per participant is less than Rs.5,000 but more than Rs.3,500 (and all other criteria are satisfied), the programme should be organized in Hotel Sausy.

Final decision: Organize the programme in Hotel Sausy.
