Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Final answer: Eligible under (iii) only.

  • SSC: 75% — criterion (i) requires ≥ 80% → does not qualify.

  • HSC: completed but percentage not given — criterion (ii) requires ≥ 75% → cannot be assumed, so does not qualify.

  • Graduation (B.Com): 65% — criterion (iii) requires ≥ 60% → qualifies.

  • Engineering criterion (iv): not applicable (candidate is not an engineer).

  • Postgraduate (v): candidate is enrolled in a master’s program but has not completed it, so criterion requiring a postgraduate degree with ≥ 50% is not met.

Therefore, the candidate is eligible only under the graduation criterion (iii).
