Answer 1

Answer:

i) 8

ii) 20

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Total Marks scored = 36

Total Right answers = 12

Total Marks from right answers = 12×5=60

ATQ

Marks from right answers - Marks deducted from Wrong answers = Marks Obtained

60-x=36

x=24

Now number of wrong answers = Total marks deducted from wrong answers / Marks deducted per wrong answer

= 24/3

= 8

ii) Marks for Correct Answers = 10×5 = 50

Marks Deducted for wrong answers = 10×3 = 30

Marks Scored = 50-30 = 20
