Choose the appropriate option :
Ravi has applied for the post of a Sales Executive. He will address the letter to :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → The Personnel Manager, ABC. Company, Worli
A job application is addressed to the officer who handles recruitment, the Personnel Manager (or HR Manager), by designation, followed by the name and address of the company. Ravi knows the company (ABC Company, Worli), so the letter goes to its Personnel Manager.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: The Advertiser, ABC. Company, Worli — Incorrect. "The Advertiser" is used only when an advertisement gives a box number and hides the employer's name. When the company is named, the letter goes to its officer by designation.
Option 3: The Post Box No. 151. Times of India — Incorrect. A post box is not a person and cannot be the addressee; the question also names the company, so no box number is needed.
Option 4: Box No. 151. Worli - Post Office — Incorrect. It names no addressee at all, only a box at a post office, and leaves out the company Ravi is applying to.
