Answer 1

Answer:

195 correct answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of right answers be x and the no. of wrong answers be (150-x)

marks awarded for right answers = 2*x= 2x marks

marks deducted for wrong answers = (150-x)*1= 150-x marks

total marks she got= marks awarded for right answer - marks deducted for wrong answer

total marks she got= x- (150-x)= x - 150 + x = 2x- 150 = 240

so, 2x- 150= 240

2x= 240 + 150 = 390

x = 390/2= 195

therefore, no of correct answers= x = 195
