Explanation
★A revised thesis is required for similarity from above 10 up to 60 percent, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
★The UGC 2018 rules grade plagiarism into levels by similarity percentage.
★Level 1 is above 10 up to 40 percent and Level 2 is above 40 up to 60 percent.
★At these levels the student must submit a revised thesis within a set time.
★12, 27 and 46 percent fall in these levels, so statements 1, 2 and 3 apply.
★66 and 70 percent are above 60 percent, which is Level 3 with harsher penalties, so statements 4 and 5 are excluded.
