Professor Emet follows strict grading criteria for her doctorate students. Each of her students repeats a thesis upon receiving at least 9 Failure Points within any four consecutive months and repeats the latest project upon receiving at least 12 Failure Points within any four consecutive months. Failure Points are received for poor performance on a 100-marks weekly test. For any weekly test, a student scoring less than 80 but more than 70 marks receives one Failure Point, a student scoring less than 70 but more than 60 marks receives two Failure Points, and a student scoring less than 60 receives three Failure Points. A student may attend a doubt clarification class to make up for 5 marks on the most recent weekly test. The doubt clarification class must be attended within two days after the weekly test results are published.
The table contains descriptions of the 5 students of Professor Emet. In each case, the student had no other Failure Points and attended no additional doubt clarification classes. In the table, select a description of a student who must repeat a thesis but not the latest project, and select a description of a student who must repeat the latest project. Make only two selections, one in each column.
Answer ->
Repeat thesis upon 9 fail points
Repeat project upon 12 fail points
70 < marks < 80, 1 fail point
60 < marks < 70, 2 fail points
m < 60, 3 fail points
if doubt class taken within 2 days of test, student can get upto 5 marks
C- Score 57 on the first weekly test of September 2020 and attended a doubt clarification class three days later. -> 3 fail points
Scored 62 on the fourth weekly test of October 2020. -> 2 fail points
Scored 69 on the first weekly test of November 2020. -> 2 fail points
Scored 59 on the third weekly test of December 2020 and attended a doubt clarification class on the same day. -> 2 fail points
total = 9 fail points
Must repeat thesis
E- Scored 63 on the fourth weekly test of July 2020. -> 2 fail points
Scored 59 on the second weekly test of August 2020. -> 3 fail points
Scored 52 on the fourth weekly test of August 2020. -> 3 fail points
Scored 68 on the third weekly test of September 2020. -> 2 fail points
Scored 53 on the first weekly test of October 2020. -> 3 fail points
total = 13 points

Question stem can be better understood as,
For 4 consecutive months,
if at least 9 failure points => thesis repeat
if at least 12 failure points => project repeat
Student marks if range of 70-80 => 1 failure point
Student marks if range of 60-70 => 2 failure point
Student marks if range of 0-60 => 3 failure point
And if student attended doubt class within 2 days of result => +5 marks
We need to find student with at least 9 but less than 12 failure points for 1st column and student with at least 12 points for 2nd column.
Looking at options,
1. We can eliminate 1st student as range of exam is greater than 4 months for first 2 tests and next 2 tests. One can get maxmium 6 failure points in 2 tests.
2. We can eliminate 2nd student as range of exam is greater than 4 months between 1st and 4th. Total would be 7 failure points for first 3 tests and then 3 for next test but range is greater than 4 between first 3 and last test.
3. Student 3 will have total of 3+2+2+2 = 9 failure points. Keep it for column-1. Repeat of thesis but no project. Remember that student does not receive bonus 5 marks for 1st test as they attended after 2 days which is one of the condition. But they do get bonus 5 for last test.
4. Eliminate student 4 as total failure points are 8.
5. July to October are in 4 month range. So, all tests are counted. Total failure points = 2+3+3+2+3 = 13. Select if for column-2.

Based on the given information, a table of Failure points for the five students can be made, as shown.
We can see that Student 3 will repeat a thesis and Student 5 will repeat the latest project.
