Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution: Check each eligibility condition against the candidate's marks.
SSC (criterion i): Not provided, so cannot be assumed to meet the ≥80% requirement.
HSC (criterion ii): Requires ≥75%; candidate has 65% → does not meet.
Graduation (criterion iii): Arts/Science/Commerce graduate requires ≥60%; candidate is a Science graduate with 85% → meets this criterion.
Engineer (criterion iv): Requires being an engineer with ≥55%; candidate is not an engineer → does not meet.
Post-graduate (criterion v): Any post-graduate requires ≥50%; candidate has PG = 75% → meets this criterion. Pursuing a second post-graduation does not change eligibility.
Final conclusion: The candidate is eligible under the graduation condition and the post-graduate condition only (criteria iii and v).
