Answers
With farmers still knocking on the doors of urban India, demanding a hearing and empathy, from rulers and others who think they know better, it is time to remind ourselves, as Jawaharlal Nehru did in The Autobiography, that ‘India is Peasant India’ and what made Gandhiji the unquestioned leader of India’s millions was because he represented the peasant masses of India in his own being.
Answer:Anushka: 12
Twisha:20
Natasha:5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Questions correct = 8
Marks for correct questions = 8 x 3 = 24
Questions incorrect = 12
marks for incorrect questions = -1 x 12 = -12
score = 24 - 12 = 12
b) Questions correct = 10
Marks for correct questions = 10 x 3 = 30
Questions incorrect = 10
marks for incorrect questions = -1 x 10 = -10
score = 30 - 10 = 20
c) Questions correct = 4
Marks for correct questions = 4 x 3 = 12
Questions incorrect = 7
marks for incorrect questions = -1 x 7 = -7
( we will not consider unattempted questions as marks for them is 0)
score = 12 - 7 = 5
