Question

In a competitive exam, there are 90 multiple choice questions. 4 marks are awarded for every correct answer, 2 marks are deducted for every wrong answer and 0.5 marks is deducted for every unattempted question from the total score of correct answers. If a student leaves 10 questions unattempted and scores a total of 195 marks, how many of his answers were correct?

Answer 1

I think 200 were correct. Since he left 10 questions the negative marking will be 10*0.5=-5
So 200-5=195 which is the marks scored

=>Then, answer wrong = 80

--: According To Condition :-

=>4x-2(80-x) - 10(0.5) = 195

=>4x-160+2x-5 = 195

=>6x = 360

=> x = 60

=> Therefore, correct answer = 60
