Statement: A very large number of students have failed in the final high school examination due to faulty questions in one of the subjects.
Courses of Action:
- All the students who have failed in the subject should be allowed to take supplementary examination.
- All those who are responsible for the error should be suspended and an enquiry should be initiated to find out the facts.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
There being faulty questions in the examination paper is a blunder on the part of school management and students should not be made to suffer on account of this. Thus, a re-test should be organised for the students and those responsible for the error be penalised to prevent reoccurrence of such mistake in the future. Hence, both the courses follow.

Why need to suspend? so answer is wrong.

@Das and @Krishan are correct, once again not a properly written question. All students should be able to retake the exam for a possible better score. So many flaws with how these questions are written. You need to get someone to rewrite these questions who has a degree in English.

I agree with @Shiv. I also think that re-taking the exam wouldn't solve much, given that the same people that were to blame for the faulty questions are still in charge of making tests, so only statement II would follow.

Here, Re-exam should be taken 1st and all students should be allowed to attend it otherwise it will become an unfair practice with the passed students.
Action against paper setters will make them aware of the importance of their work & will definitely acts as a driving force behind all employees in this section.
From this I can say that only Course of Action-II follows. Hence answer of the given question is.
[B] Only II follows.

If suspension is the remedy for errors committed by authority of any institutions, then complete computer oriented system of education must prevail in future, other wise we don't find any teacher who work efficiently like a computer. In my opinion they should warned and given another chance.

Faulty questions is not the problem of students, it is the problem of paper setter. Papers are to be checked thoroughly before being released. Students should not be allowed to give retest but marks should be given to those who have answered it but have got wrong answers.

Same is on my part, the passed studend could have got better marks unless the questions were faulty.

In choice I, why only failed student to be re-examined? why not for all student who have appeared?
