Correct Answer:

If the candidate is to be rejected

Explanation:

To determine if Anoop qualifies for the position of Senior Manager at PQR Ltd. Bank, we need to evaluate him against each of the specified criteria:

1. **Class 12th Marks:**
   - Requirement: Minimum 70%
   - Anoop's Marks: 75%
   - Result: Satisfied

2. **Graduation Marks:**
   - Requirement: Minimum 60%
   - Anoop's Marks: 70%
   - Result: Satisfied

3. **MBA Marks:**
   - Requirement: Minimum 65%
   - Anoop's Marks: 70%
   - Result: Satisfied

4. **Age:**
   - Requirement: Age between 25 and 30 years as of 1st March 2016
   - Anoop's Birth Date: 15th July 2005
   - To calculate Anoop's age on 1st March 2016:
     - Birth Date: 15th July 2005
     - Date as of: 1st March 2016
     - Anoop's Age: 2016 - 2005 = 11 years (since July hasn't arrived yet in 2016)

Since Anoop is only 11 years old as of 1st March 2016, he does not meet the age requirement of being between 25 and 30 years old.

**Conclusion:**
Anoop does not qualify for the position of Senior Manager at PQR Ltd. Bank due to not meeting the age requirement.

The correct answer is Option (2) → If the candidate is to be rejected
