Answer 1

Answer:

Marks given for one correct answer =4

So, marks given for 9 correct answers are

=4 X 9 = 36

Marks given for one incorrect answer

=-2

So, marks given for 6=(15-9) incorrect answers

= (-2) X 6 =-12

Answer 2

Answer:

i) 24

ii) 20

Step-by-step explanation:

i) number of correct answers = 9

marks for these answers = 9×4 = 36

number of incorrect answers = 6

marks for these answers = -2×6 = -12

Total score = 36 + -12 = 24

ii)number of correct answers = 5

marks for these answers = 5×4 = 20

number of incorrect answers = 0

marks for these answers = 0×-2 = 0

Total score = 20 + 0 = 20

Hope this helps you.
