$$\bullet$$ The line segment joining R and S is perpendicular to the line segment joining P and Q.

$$\bullet$$ The line segment joining R and U is parallel to the line segment joining T and Q.

Based on the above statements, which one of the following options is CORRECT?

An ant is at the bottom-left corner of a grid (point P) as shown below in the figure. It aims to move to the top-right corner of the grid. The ant moves only along the lines marked in the grid such that the current distance to the top-right corner strictly decreases. Which one of the following is a part of a possible trajectory of the ant during the movement?

The number of student passing or failing in an exam for a particular subject are presented in the bar chart below. Students who pass the exam cannot appear for the exam again. Students who fails the exam in the first attempt must appear for the exam in the following year. Students always pass the exam in their second attempt. The numbers of students who took the exam for the first time in the year $2^{\text {nd }}$ the year 3 respectively, are $\_\_\_\_$ .
