ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL 2018) — Question 24

A student needs to score at least 50 points to pass. If they score at least 100 points they will achieve a merit and if they score at least 150 points they will achieve a distinction.
Which two values are in the same partition?

Answer options

• A. 45 and 55.
• B. 55 and 120.
• C. 50 and 60.
• D. 45 and 170.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as both 50 and 60 fall within the passing range of 50 to 100 points. Options A and D contain scores that do not meet the passing threshold, while option B includes one score that is in the merit range and one that is passing, thus placing them in different categories.
