Question

In a class test containing 15 questions , 4 marks were awarded for every correct answer and (-1)
was awarded for every incorrect answer. Sonali attempted all questions but only 8 of her
answers were correct. What was her total score?

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

Therefore, Gurpreet's total score is

= 36 - 12 = 24
