Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Checklist:
Graduation in Commerce: Candidate has B.Com with 76% — meets the minimum 60%.
Age as of 1-7-2016: Born 05-4-1992, age is 24 — meets the required range of 24 to 40 years.
Work experience: 6 years after education — meets the minimum requirement of 2 years.
Selection score: 62% — meets the minimum required 55%.
Exceptions checked: The Institute of Finance Management referral applies only if a candidate is not a commerce graduate but has a master's in finance — not applicable here because the candidate is a commerce graduate. The Trainee Accountant referral requires a selection score of 75% in addition to work experience; the candidate's score is 62%, so this referral does not apply.
Conclusion: The candidate meets all stated eligibility criteria and should be selected.
