- DData inadequate
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us evaluate Sam's profile against the given conditions:
1. Age: Sam is years old. This means he is an adult (NOT a minor), so Condition C applies to him.
2. Condition A: He is married to Rita, who is a citizen of the country. Thus, Condition A is satisfied.
3. Condition B: He has his unique identity card. Thus, Condition B is satisfied.
4. Condition C: Since he is an adult, he needs to produce a pass certificate. However, there is no information provided regarding his educational qualification.
5. Condition E: He has the required affidavit for a fresh passport application, satisfying Condition E.
Since we are explicitly instructed not to assume anything, and there is absolutely no data regarding his pass certificate, we cannot determine whether he satisfies Condition C or if his case should be referred to the head office under exception (2). Therefore, the data provided is inadequate.
