Each year, all employees for a particular company complete an annual self-evaluation during the month of September, and all employees, including those who left the company after completing their annual self-evaluation, are subsequently evaluated by their supervisors. An employee hired after the month of September completes his or her first self-evaluation the following September. Each self-evaluation includes information about career goals, job responsibilities, and an overall rating of job performance, and approximately 70% rated job performance as being satisfactory or better. Approximately 40% of the self-evaluation ratings differed from the ratings given by the employee's supervisor.

The para speaks about evaluation in two parts.
A) Self evaluation: Each member evaluates himself in September of each year. If one has joined after September of a particular year, he/she would evaluate self in September of next year.
B) Each member even if he/she has left the organization would be evaluated by supervisor .
Evaluation is under three heads.
Results: 70% evaluated their job performance to be satisfactory or above while 40% supervisors differed with self evaluations.
We are looking for Must be true and must be false. Let us look at the options.
1. All employees working at the company in March have completed at least one self-evaluation.
Not necessarily. Someone who has joined in February of the same year would do the first self evaluation in September of that year. Also, there would be few for whom it would be TRUE.
2. Fewer than half of all employees had a job performance rating of satisfactory or better from their supervisor.
We know 40% differed. If these 40% differed with the 70% who evaluated job performance satisfactory, then yes. But it may be possible that 30 % of this 40% differed with 100-70 or 30% who reported unsatisfactory job performance. So, there could be (70+30-(40-30)) or 90% getting a satisfactory rating.
3. No employee who completed a self-evaluation in a given calendar year was hired by the company for the first time in December of that calendar year.
If a person has completed a self evaluation in a year then he must have been hired before September that year. No one hired in October or November or December could have self evaluated in that calendar year. MUST BE TRUE
4. More than half of all employees had an unsatisfactory job performance.
Again need not be TRUE or false.
Is it self evaluation or evaluation by supervisors.
5. At least one employee who rated his or her performance as satisfactory in a given year did not receive an evaluation by his or her supervisor that year.
We are told everyone, even if he has left the job, is evaluated. So, this has to be FALSE.

3rd statement : No employee who completed a self-evaluation in a given calendar year was hired by the company for the first time in December of that calendar year.
Must be True
Reasoning : Self evaluation happens annually in Sep, Hence any employee who must have completed self evaluation in Sep 23 for example wont have his hiring date as Dec'23 and will be considered in the next hiring cycle.
5th statement : At least one employee who rated his or her performance as satisfactory in a given year did not receive an evaluation by his or her supervisor that year.
Must be False
Reasoning : It is stated that in 70% of the self evaluations, job performance was being rated as being satisfactory or better and approximately 40% of the self-evaluation ratings differed from the ratings given by the employee's supervisor.
This highlights that there will be overlap of approx 10% between the job performance being rated satisfactory and rating given by the supervisor which confirms that the above statement is false.
