Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Opting for a 6th subject is not compulsory. You need to have five main subjects for which your percentage is calculated. So, whether you have opted for an optional subject in class 11th CBSE, you are bound to appear for board exams without any restriction.

Detailed explanation-2: -except languages in case the student is absent as found in any of the adjoining subject with the marks of 6th subject showing in the final result in place of the other subject where the student either absent or scored less than 33% marks.

Detailed explanation-3: -As you mentioned that you had 6 subjects in 12th and you are passed in 5 subjects so even if you have failed in one subject, you will still be considered pass but if you want to get passed in the subject you have failed then you have the chance of giving compartment exam next year.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is not a substitute for a main subject, and is generally opted to compensate for the possibility of scoring low marks in a major subject or to keep additional career options open (e.g. Mathematics in case of Humanities students).
