Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (A)
Shobha has the 50% cutoff in the interview, 40% cutoff in group discussion and the 60% cutoff in graduation. Also, her age is between 30 and 40. But, she does not have ten years of experience. According to the passage, if the candidate has more than 7 years, of which at least 3 years of experience is as a Manager-Credit in a bank, the candidate is to be referred to the executive director.
Since Shobha has eight years of experience of which 4 years was as a Manager-Credit in a bank, she has to be referred to the executive director
2) Answer (C)
Rohan’s age is 36, which is between 30 and 40 and is hence eligible for the job. He has 50% in both interview and group discussion, hence clearing the cutoffs of both the criterions. However, we do not know whether his work experience was in the advances section of the bank. As no information is given regarding his 12 years at the bank, the data is inadequate.
3) Answer (B)
Prakash’s age is 33, which is between 30 and 40 and is hence eligible for the job. Also, he has cleared the cutoffs of group discussion and interview by scoring 45% and 50% respectively. He has 10 years of experience in advances section after post graduation. But his graduation marks are less than 60% and more than 50% and his post graduation marks are more than 60%. Therefore, Prakash has to be referred to the General Manager – Advances.
4) Answer (D)
Sudha’s age is 38, which is between 30 and 40, and is hence eligible for the job. She has an experience of 12 years in advances section, hence clearing the cutoff. She has scored only 40% in Interview, which is less than the cutoff. Hence Sudha must not be selected.
5) Answer (E)
Amit’s age is between 30 and 40. He has scored 65% in B.Sc, 55% in group discussion and 50% in the interview and also has 11 years of experience, thereby clearing all the cutoffs. Hence he has to be selected.
