Using EVALUATE is easier, but since asked to use IF
Assume Passing mark is 50

01 EXAM PIC 999
01 COURSEWORK PIC 999
01 RESULT PIC X(4)
 
ACCEPT EXAM.
ACCEPT COURSEWORK.

IF EXAM<30 AND COURSEWORK<30
    MOVE ‘FAIL’ TO RESULT
IF EXAM>39 AND (COURSEWORK>29 AND COURSEWORK<40)
    MOVE ‘RC’ TO RESULT
IF (EXAM>29 AND EXAM<40) AND COURSEWORK>49
    MOVE ‘RE’ TO RESULT
IF (EXAM>29 AND EXAM<40) AND(COURSEWORK>29 AND COURSEWORK<40)
    MOVE ‘RB’TO RESULT
IF EXAM>39AND COURSEWORK>39
