Direction: KLM Ltd. bank is recruiting senior managers for its 10 branches in Bangalore. There are some requirements for any willing candidate to fulfill; else he/she will be rejected.
The following conditions must be satisfied by the applicant:
i. The candidate must have passed class 12th with minimum 60% marks.
ii. The candidate must have scored minimum 55% marks in graduation.
iii. The candidate must have scored minimum 60% marks in MBA.
iv. The candidate's age must be between 25 years and 35 years as on 1st March 2018.
Question: Amit was born on 11th July 1987. He obtained 65% marks in graduation and 66% marks in MBA. Which option is correct for Amit?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → The data provided are inadequate to take a decision
A candidate is selected only if all four conditions are met; when the details given say nothing about one of the conditions, no decision can be taken. So Amit’s details are checked against each condition in turn:
(i) Class 12 with at least 60%: Amit’s Class 12 marks are not given.
(ii) Graduation with at least 55%: he has 65%, so this is met.
(iii) MBA with at least 60%: he has 66%, so this is met.
(iv) Age between 25 and 35 years on 1 March 2018: born on 11 July 1987, he is 30 years old on that date, so this is met.
Amit meets three conditions, but without his Class 12 marks it cannot be said whether he meets the first one, so the data are inadequate to decide.
