Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Evaluate Satish Menon against each criterion:
(i) SSC at least 80%: SSC marks are not given, so this cannot be assumed.
(ii) HSC at least 75%: HSC = 65%, so this is not satisfied.
(iii) Arts/Science/Commerce graduate with at least 60%: graduation in Science = 85%, so this is satisfied.
(iv) Engineer with at least 55%: Satish is not described as an engineer, so this does not apply.
(v) Post-graduate with at least 50%: post-graduation = 75%, so this is satisfied.
Therefore, Satish Menon is eligible under criteria (iii) and (v) only. Hence, option B is correct.
