The Result of that group is also shown as F-Ex (Failed with Exemption)

If no such ‘#’ symbol is printed against the marks of that paper, even though the marks obtained in that paper may be more than 60, then that indicates that no exemption has been granted in that paper. Refer this link for more on availing Exemptions in CA Exams.
