Based on the criteria provided for selecting a team leader for software company XYZ, let's evaluate Bheem's qualifications:

1. Work Experience: Bheem has six years of experience as an Associate Engineer, which satisfies criterion (i) requiring at least four years.
2. Fluency in English: He is fluent in English, meeting criterion (ii).
3. Interview Score: Bheem scored 92% in the interview, which is above the required 90%, thus satisfying criterion (iii).
4. Language Requirement: He knows Hindi, meeting criterion (iv) which requires knowledge of either Telugu or Hindi.
5. Age Requirement: Bheem was born on March 30, 1981. As of December 1, 2013, he would be 32 years old, which fits within the age range of 30 to 40 years required by criterion (v).

Conclusion: Bheem meets all the specified criteria for selection as a team leader. Therefore, the appropriate decision would be:

B: if the candidate may be selected.

To determine the correct course of action for Seema based on the selection criteria provided for a team leader at software company XYZ, we'll assess her qualifications and any exceptions:

• Work Experience as an Associate Engineer: Seema has three years of work experience as an Associate Engineer, which fails to meet criterion (i) requiring at least four years.
• Fluency in English: She is fluent in English, satisfying criterion (ii).
• Interview Score: She scored 90% in the interview, meeting the requirement of at least 90% outlined in criterion (iii).
• Language Requirement: She knows both Telugu and Hindi, exceeding the requirement of knowing either language as stated in criterion (iv).
• Age Requirement: Seema was born in 1979, making her 34 years old as of December 1, 2013, which fits within the age range of 30 to 40 years required by criterion (v).

Given that Seema meets all the criteria except for the required experience as an Associate Engineer, but she has six years of work experience as a Testing Engineer, we refer to the exception provided:

• Exception (a): If a candidate fulfills all criteria except for criterion (i) but has a work experience of at least five years as a Testing Engineer, then he/she is referred to Senior Software Engineer.

Conclusion: Since Seema meets the exception condition with her six years of experience as a Testing Engineer, the appropriate decision would be:

E: if the candidate is to be referred to the Senior Software Engineer.

To determine the correct course of action for Charu, let’s assess her qualifications against the provided criteria for a team leader at software company XYZ:

• Work Experience as an Associate Engineer: The criteria specify a need for at least four years as an Associate Engineer. There is no mention of Charu having any experience in this specific role.
• Fluency in English: She is fluent in English, meeting criterion (ii).
• Interview Score: Charu scored 90% in the interview, fulfilling criterion (iii).
• Language Requirement: She knows Telugu, satisfying criterion (iv).
• Age Requirement: At 34 years old as of December 1, 2013, she meets the age range specified in criterion (v) of being at least 30 but not more than 40 years old.

Given that Charu meets all the criteria except possibly criterion (i), because there's no information about her experience as an Associate Engineer, we should consider the exceptions:

• Exception (a) is not applicable as it requires experience as a Testing Engineer in lieu of Associate Engineer, which she has, but it leads to referral to Senior Software Engineer, not a team leader.
• Exception (b) requires at least nine years as a Software Engineer if the age criterion is not met, and in this case, Charu's experience and age do not conflict with the criteria.

However, since the main selection criterion (i) for team leader requires experience specifically as an Associate Engineer, and there is no information confirming Charu has this experience, we cannot determine if she qualifies as a team leader without additional data about her role specifics.

Conclusion: C: if data is inadequate to take any decision.

To decide the appropriate course of action for Gourav based on the criteria provided for a team leader position at software company XYZ, we'll assess how he meets the specific requirements:

• Work Experience as an Associate Engineer: Gourav has six years of work experience as an Associate Engineer, fulfilling criterion (i).
• Fluency in English: He is fluent in English, meeting criterion (ii).
• Interview Score: Gourav scored 85% in the interview, which is below the required 90%, failing to meet criterion (iii).
• Language Requirement: He knows Hindi, meeting criterion (iv).
• Age Requirement: Born on September 10, 1985, Gourav would be 28 years old as of December 1, 2013. He falls within the age range specified in criterion (v) of being at least 30 but not more than 40 years old.

Since Gourav fails to meet the interview score requirement (criterion iii), and none of the exceptions apply to this scenario (he meets the age requirement, so exception (b) does not apply, and exception (a) is irrelevant because his failure point isn’t related to his work experience), the decision here is clear.

Conclusion: A: if the candidate is to be rejected.

Given Information for Prekshi:

• Work experience: 5 years as an Associate Engineer.
• Fluency in English: Yes, she is fluent in English.
• Interview score: 97% (which is above the required 90%).
• Language: Knows Telugu.
• Age: 32 years.

Step-by-step check based on the criteria:

1. Work experience: She has 5 years of work experience as an Associate Engineer, which satisfies the requirement of at least 4 years.

2. Fluency in English: She is fluent in English, so this condition is satisfied.

3. Interview score: She scored 97%, which is above the required 90%. This condition is satisfied.

4. Language: She knows Telugu, fulfilling the language requirement of either Telugu or Hindi.

5. Age: She is 32 years old, which is within the acceptable age range of 30 to 40 years.

Analyzing the additional conditions for exceptions:

• No issue with work experience: Prekshi satisfies the work experience requirement, so there is no need to refer her to a Senior Software Engineer.

• Age is within the acceptable range: Her age is 32 years, so there is no need to refer her to a Manager.

Conclusion:

Since Prekshi satisfies all the criteria for selection as a Team Leader (work experience, fluency in English, interview score, language proficiency, and age), she may be selected.

The correct answer is:

d) the candidate may be selected.

To determine whether Peter meets the eligibility criteria for the recruitment process, we need to evaluate each requirement:

I. Educational Qualification: Peter is a graduate in science and scored 76%, which meets the requirement of having at least 60% marks in this field.

II. Age Requirement: Peter was born on April 12, 1988. As of August 1, 2016, he would be 28 years old, which falls within the required age range of at least 25 years and not more than 40 years.

III. Work Experience: Peter has 6 years of post-qualification work experience, satisfying the criterion of having at least 2 years.

IV. Marks in the Selection Procedure: He secured 58% in the selection process, which is above the minimum requirement of 55%.

Exceptions:

• Exception A: Not applicable as Peter meets the educational criterion.
• Exception B: Not applicable as Peter meets the post-qualification work experience criterion and the score requirement for this exception (75% marks in the selection process) is not met.

Conclusion: Peter fulfills all the required criteria for the recruitment process. Therefore, the correct decision is:

A: if the candidate is to be selected.

To determine whether Ahmed is eligible for the recruitment process based on the given criteria, let’s review each qualification:

I. Educational Qualification: Ahmed is not a graduate in Science; he completed his graduation and post-graduation in Economics. He scored 68% in his postgraduate degree.

II. Age Requirement: Ahmed was born on November 26, 1980. As of August 1, 2016, he would be 35 years old, which fits within the required age range of at least 25 years and not more than 40 years.

III. Work Experience: Ahmed has been working as an executive in a reputed firm since 2006, providing him with over 10 years of work experience, which is well above the minimum requirement of 2 years.

IV. Marks in the Selection Procedure: Ahmed secured 56% in the selection process, surpassing the minimum requirement of 55%.

Exceptions:

• Exception A: Since Ahmed is not a graduate in Science but has a postgraduate degree in Economics with at least 60% marks, he should be referred to the HR Manager of the organization.

Conclusion: Although Ahmed does not meet the specific educational criteria for a Science graduate, he qualifies under exception A due to his postgraduate achievements. Therefore, the correct decision is:

C: if the candidate may be referred to the HR – Manager.

Let's evaluate Harshita's eligibility for the recruitment process based on the provided criteria:

I. Educational Qualification: Harshita has completed both graduation and post-graduation in Physics. She secured 57% in her graduation. This does not meet the minimum requirement of at least 60% marks for a graduate in Science.

II. Age Requirement: The information does not specify Harshita's age, so we cannot verify if she meets the age criterion of being at least 25 years and not more than 40 years as on 01.08.2016.

III. Work Experience: Harshita has three years of post-qualification work experience, which satisfies the criterion of having at least 2 years.

IV. Marks in the Selection Procedure: She secured 59% in the selection process, which is above the minimum requirement of 55%.

Exceptions:

• Exception A: Applies if the candidate is not a graduate in Science but has a post-graduation degree with at least 60% marks and is referred to the HR Manager. Harshita’s graduation in Physics does qualify as a Science degree, although her marks are below the required threshold. Since her post-graduation marks are above 60%, she could be considered under this exception, but it specifically mentions non-Science graduates.

Conclusion: Given the incomplete information regarding her age and the application of exception A, the decision cannot be conclusively determined based on the details provided. Thus, the correct response would be:

E: if the data provided is inadequate to take the decision.

However, if we assume her age is within the limits, based on the marks, she would be referred to the HR Manager, making the answer C instead. Since you indicated the correct answer to be E, it seems there is an assumption that her age might not fit the criteria, or the provided data is indeed incomplete for a full evaluation.

To assess Deepak's eligibility for the recruitment process based on the provided criteria, we need to review each of the specified qualifications:

I. Educational Qualification: Deepak has completed both his graduation and post-graduation in Geography with 68% marks. The criteria require a graduate in science with at least 60% marks. Geography can be considered a science subject, so it is important to clarify whether the organization views Geography as part of the science field for this specific recruitment.

II. Age Requirement: Deepak was born on November 11, 1985. By August 1, 2016, he would be 30 years old, which is within the age range of at least 25 years and not more than 40 years.

III. Work Experience: There is no information provided about Deepak’s post-qualification work experience, so we cannot confirm if he meets the requirement of having at least 2 years of experience.

IV. Marks in the Selection Procedure: Deepak secured 57% in the selection process, which meets the minimum requirement of 55%.

Exceptions:

• Exception A: This applies if a candidate is not a graduate in a typical science field but has a postgraduate degree with at least 60% marks. Since Deepak’s post-graduation is in Geography with 68% marks and it is not explicitly stated as non-science, it is unclear if this exception would apply without confirmation of how Geography is categorized by the organization.
• Exception B: Not applicable as the exception condition related to marks in the selection process being 75% is not met.

Conclusion: Given that there is uncertainty regarding how Geography is classified (whether as a science or not for this recruitment), and the lack of information about his work experience, the data provided is indeed inadequate to conclusively decide Deepak's eligibility. Thus, the answer would be:

E: if the data provided is inadequate to take the decision.

Let's evaluate Varun's eligibility for the recruitment process based on the provided criteria:

I. Educational Qualification: Varun has a BSc degree with 67% marks, fulfilling the requirement of a graduate in science with at least 60% marks.

II. Age Requirement: Varun was born on March 9, 1987. As of August 1, 2016, he would be 29 years old, which meets the age requirement of being at least 25 years and not more than 40 years.

III. Work Experience: Varun has one year of post-qualification work experience, which does not meet the requirement of at least two years.

IV. Marks in the Selection Procedure: Varun secured 79% marks in the selection process, well above the minimum requirement of 55%.

Exceptions:

• Exception A: Not applicable as Varun meets the educational qualification.
• Exception B: Applies if a candidate meets all other eligibility criteria but lacks the required work experience, yet has secured at least 75% in the selection process. Varun qualifies for this exception since he scored 79% but has less than the required work experience.

Conclusion: According to exception B, because Varun has scored high in the selection process but falls short in work experience, he should be referred to the Director of the organization.

The correct answer is:

D: if the candidate may be referred to the Director.

To determine whether Veena is eligible for the recruitment process based on the provided criteria, let’s evaluate her qualifications:

I. Educational Qualification: Veena has completed her graduation and post-graduation in Commerce with 59% and 62% marks, respectively. The requirement, however, specifies a graduate in science with at least 60% marks. Veena does not meet this educational criterion.

II. Age Requirement: Veena was born on February 6, 1988. By August 1, 2016, she would be 28 years old, which fits within the required age range of at least 25 years and not more than 40 years.

III. Work Experience: Veena has three years of post-qualification work experience as a senior executive, fulfilling the criterion of having at least 2 years of work experience.

IV. Marks in the Selection Procedure: Veena secured 59% in the selection process, meeting the minimum requirement of 55%.

Exceptions:

• Exception A: Applies if the candidate is not a graduate in Science but has a post-graduation degree with a minimum of 60% marks. Since Veena’s postgraduate degree in Commerce meets this mark requirement, this exception applies to her situation.

Conclusion: Although Veena does not meet the specific educational criteria for a Science graduate, she qualifies under exception A due to her satisfactory postgraduate marks in Commerce. Therefore, she should be referred to the HR Manager of the organization.

The correct decision is:

C: if the candidate may be referred to the HR – Manager.

Let's evaluate Asmita's eligibility for the recruitment process based on the provided criteria:

I. Educational Qualification: Asmita has graduated in Botany with 71% marks. Botany is a branch of science, so she meets the educational requirement of having at least 60% marks in a science degree.

II. Age Requirement: Asmita was born on January 22, 1989. As of August 1, 2016, she would be 27 years old, fitting within the required age range of at least 25 years and not more than 40 years.

III. Work Experience: Asmita has four years of post-qualification work experience, which meets the requirement of having at least 2 years.

IV. Marks in the Selection Procedure: Asmita secured 53% marks in the selection process, which is below the minimum requirement of 55%.

Exceptions:

• Exception A: Not applicable as Asmita meets the educational requirement.
• Exception B: Not applicable as she does not meet the score requirement of 75% in the selection process.

Conclusion: Since Asmita fails to meet the requirement for the marks in the selection process and no exceptions apply to her case, she is not eligible for the recruitment process.

The correct answer is:

B: if the candidate is not to be selected.
