A certain organization has explicit rules for promotions and appointments. There are five salary grades: A, B, C, D and E with A being the highest. Three extracts from the rules are given.
-Promotion is automatic if the employee has spent five years at Grade D and there are no adverse reports about him or her and his or her age is above 35
-Promotion cannot be allowed if less than two years have been spent at Grade D
-The age restriction can be relaxed if two or three members of the promotion committee recommend the person strongly
-New entrants to the organization cannot be taken in at Grade C

We cant be sure for the first question that Sally can be promoted since it's not mentioned that she received any strong recommendation from 2 of 3 promotion committee

Explanation for Q1: Not a NECESSARY condition. Is it possible for Sally to be promoted from D to C? Definitely YES
Explanation for Q1: Norman can enter the organization at Grade D or C as well. Answer is NO
Explanation for Q2: Minimum 2 years is needed to be promoted from D to C. The current age then will be 24 + 2 = 26 years. From C to B the person needs to be at least 35 years of age, so 9 more years (35 - 26 = 9) is needed at least. From B to A at least 3 years is needed. So at least 2 + 9 + 3 = 14 years is needed to go from Grade D to Grade A for someone who joined D at 24 years of age!
