Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Key facts:
Coordinator: Dr. Narayan Shiva — Deputy Director (meets the rank requirement).
Programme area: HRD (one of the allowed areas).
Duration: 5 days (within the maximum of 7 days).
Fee per participant: Rs.5,500 (meets the minimum of Rs.5,000).
Total fee: Rs.192,500 → Number of participants = 192,500 ÷ 5,500 = 35.
Apply criteria and exceptions:
All main criteria (rank, area, duration, fee) are satisfied except the minimum number of participants.
The number of participants is 35, which is less than 50 but more than 30.
Given the stated exceptions, when the number of participants is less than 50 but more than 30, the programme is to be organized in Hotel Sideways.
Conclusion:
Since the only violated criterion is the minimum number of participants and the number (35) falls between 31 and 49, the programme should be organized in Hotel Sideways.
