Directions for question :

Each new group of Management Trainees (MT) have to go through a four month rigorous training schedule, after which they have to pass through a test consisting of a written assessment and a case-analysis. The top hundred ranked Management Trainees (MT) based on the performance in the test are confirmed as Management Executives (ME). The rest are given the opportunity of undergoing the training for four months one more time along with the next batch of Management Trainees (MT) and then passing through the subsequent test consisting of the written assessment and case-analysis. The Management Trainee (MT) who fails to get confirmed as a Management Executive (ME) the second time is fired.

Number of Management Trainees (MT) who got confirmed as a Management Executive (ME) in the second attempt = Number of Management Trainees (MT) who were second time test takers – Number of Management Trainees (MT) who got fired.

So, the number of Management Trainees (MT) who got confirmed as a Management Executive (ME) in the second attempt were as follows :

a) January 2020 : 96 – 44 = 52, 

b) May 2020 : 80 – 36 = 44, 

c) September 2020 : 52 – 28 = 24, 

d) January 2021 : 76 – 40 = 36, 

e) May 2021 : 76 – 32 = 44, 

f) September 2021 : 76 – 28 = 48, 

g) January 2022 : 52 – 44 = 8, and 

h) May 2022 : 64 – 36 = 28.

Hence, the minimum number of Management Trainees (MT) who got confirmed as a Management Executive (ME) in the second attempt was in January 2022 (8)
