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 are deducted for every unattempted question. from the total score of correct answers.if a students leaves 10 questions unattempted and scores a total of 195 marks, how many of his answers were correct

Answer 1

Let the correct answer be x and the incorrect option is y so
eq 1. x+y=80. because 10 question he don't attempt ok
now the eq 2 is
4x-2y= 190 because 5 marks are cut because he don't attempt 10question ok
x+y=80
2x-y=95 by taking 2 as a common in eq 2
now I think you can do this ok

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :- 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 are deducted for every unattempted question. from the total score of correct answers.if a students leaves 10 questions unattempted and scores a total of 195 marks, how many of his answers were correct

Solution :-

=> Let the answers correct be 'x'

=>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
