Question

In a class test (+ 3) marks are given for every correct answer and (–2) marks are given for every incorrect answer and no marks for not attempting any question. (i) Radhika scored 20 marks. If she has got 12 correct answers, how many questions has she attempted incorrectly? (ii) Mohini scores –5 marks in this test, though she has got 7 correct answers. How many questions has she attempted incorrectly?

Answer 1

Answer:

Now, we know that for every incorrect answer =−2 marks. So, the total marks for incorrect answers = marks for incorrect answer × number of incorrect answers. Hence, the number of incorrect answers is 13.

Answer 2

Answer:

verified answer

In a class test,

marks given for every correct answer = 3

marks given for 12 correct answer = 12\times3\ =\ 3612×3 = 36

radhika obtained 20 marks in the class testt

therefore, marks obtained for incorrect answer = 20 -36

= -16

therefore, marks given for one incorrect answer = -2

so, no of incorrect answer = -16\times\frac{-1}{2}\ \ \ =\ 8\−16×

= 8

Thus, radhika has attempted = 8 incorrect questions

(ii) Marks given for seven correct answer = 3\times7\ =21\3×7 =21

Mohini scores = -5

Marks obtained for incorrrect answer = -5-21 = -26

now, marks given for one incorrect answer = -2

therefore, no of incorrect answer Mohini has attempted = -26\times\frac{-1}{2}\ \ =13\ incorrect\ question−26×
