Option A is a bit too easy, don't you think? I'm leaning towards C just to keep the exam writer on their toes. 35, 40, 59, and 69 - a real mix of Fail, Pass, and Merit.

Haha, I bet the exam writer had fun coming up with these tricky options. But I'm sticking with B - can't go wrong with the full range of partitions represented.

I'm going with D. The values are nicely spread out across the different partitions. Although, 39 and 40 being in different partitions seems a bit arbitrary, don't you think?

I believe set C) 35, 40, 59, 69 fits the criteria because each value falls into a different category.

So, which set do you think has values in different equivalence partitions?

Yes, it's about dividing the input values into different groups based on their behavior.

Hmm, option B looks good. All the values are in different partitions - 0 for Fail, 45 for Pass, 79 for Merit, and 87 for Distinction. Nice and straightforward!
