Detailed Explanation on An it company has decided to recruit software developers
Condition A: The candidate should have at least a Bachelor’s degree in engineering.
The given candidate has a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Applications (BCA), which is a computer-related degree. It is not clear from the given information whether BCA is considered equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree in engineering by the IT company. However, we know that if the candidate has obtained 75% in their BCA degree and has a work experience of at least three years, they may be referred to the Director. Therefore, we can assume that the IT company considers BCA to be equivalent to a Bachelor’s degree in engineering if the candidate meets the other conditions.
Condition B: The candidate should have scored at least 60% in their Bachelor’s degree and 80% in 12th grade.
The given candidate’s Bachelor’s degree percentage is not mentioned. Therefore, we need to check if the candidate meets the condition mentioned in point (1) above. Since the given candidate does not fulfill this condition, we need to check if they meet the criteria mentioned in point (a) above.
The given candidate has obtained 75% in their BCA degree, which is higher than the minimum requirement of 60%. Therefore, the candidate fulfills this condition.
Condition C: The candidate must have a work experience of at least one year.
The given candidate has work experience of 2 years, which fulfills this condition.
Condition D: The candidate should be willing to commit to working with the company for at least two years.
The given candidate’s willingness to commit to working with the company for at least two years is not mentioned. Therefore, we need to check if the candidate meets the criteria mentioned in point (b) above.
Since the given candidate does not fulfill the condition of being willing to commit to working with the company for at least two years, we need to check if they meet the criteria mentioned in point (b) above. The given candidate has not mentioned anything about paying a security deposit of $1,000. Therefore, the candidate does not fulfill this condition either.
Condition E: The candidate should not be between 21 and 28 years of age as of February 1, 2012.
The given candidate’s age is not mentioned. Therefore, we need to check if the candidate meets the criteria mentioned in point (c) above.
Since the given candidate has work experience of 2 years, we can assume that they are not a fresh IT engineer. Therefore, we can assume that the candidate does not fulfill this condition.
Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that the given candidate fulfills conditions A, B, and C, but does not fulfill conditions D and E. Since the candidate does not fulfill all the conditions mentioned by the IT company, they may not be recruited for the software developer position. However, the candidate may be referred to the Director if they fulfill the criteria mentioned in point (a) above.
