Data/information about an individual is given. You have to decide, based on the information provided, under which criterion/criteria is the individual eligible, if so, to get a membership. Please note that an individual can be eligible under more than one criteria. You are not to assume anything other than the information provided in each question.

Mr. A is 30-years-old and the son of a retired army officer. He is ready to pay a membership fee of ₹10,000 and contribute two books worth ₹500.

Criteria:

1. The applicant should be able to pay a one-time membership fee of ₹10,000 and contribute two books worth ₹500.

Mr. A is ready to pay ₹10,000 and contribute two books worth ₹500. Hence, he meets this criterion.

2. The one-time membership fee is relaxed up to 50% if the applicant donates books worth ₹5,000 in total.

Mr. A is donating only books worth ₹500, not ₹5,000, so he does not qualify for this relaxation.

3. For school students, the membership fee is relaxed till the age of 18 years.

Mr. A is 30 years old, so he does not qualify for this relaxation.

4. Serving school teachers are required to pay only ₹2,000 if they help 20 students to become members of the library.

Mr. A is not mentioned to be a school teacher, so this criterion does not apply to him.

5. Only for serving Defence personnel and their wards, the membership of the library is free of cost.

Mr. A is the son of a retired army officer, but the criteria only applies to serving Defence personnel and their wards. Since Mr. A’s father is retired, this does not apply to him.

Conclusion:

Mr. A meets only the first criterion (i), where he can pay ₹10,000 and contribute two books worth ₹500.

Thus, the correct answer is:
