Given,

Statements:

If Rituparna studies, she will pass her exam.

Rituparna fails the exam.

Analysis:

The first statement sets up a conditional: Studying (P) leads to passing (Q). So, P → Q.

The second statement tells us that Rituparna did NOT pass her exam (¬Q).

According to the rules of logic (specifically, modus tollens), if P → Q is true, and ¬Q is true, then ¬P must also be true.

Therefore, if Rituparna failed her exam (did not pass), it means the condition for passing (studying) was not met.

Conclusion:

Rituparna did not study for the exam.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
