______________________________________________
(1) Let's start to find the Mohan score :-
Mohan Correct Answer 4
Right answer score → 5
Mohan right answer score→ 4
=> Right answer score × Mohan right answer score
=> 5 × 4
=> 20
Mohan Wrong Answer —6
Wrong Answer score → —2
Mohan wrong answer score → — 6
=> Wrong answer score × Mohan wrong answer score
=> —2 × — 6
=> —12
Mohan total score → 20 + (—12)
→ 20 — 12
→ 8 score
Mohan total score is 8 .

(2) Let's start to find the Reshma score :-
Reshma Wrong Answer —5
Right answer score 5
Reshma right answer score 5
=> Right answer score × Reshma right answer score
=> 5 × 5
=> 25
Reshma Wrong Answer —5
Wrong Answer Score —2
Reshma wrong answer score —5
—2 × (— 5 )
— 10
Reshma Total Score → 25 + (—10)
→ 25 — 10
→ 15 score
Reshma total score is 15 .

(3) Let's start to find the Heena Score :-
Heena Correct Answer 2
Right answer score 5
Heena right answer score 2
=> Right answer score × Heena right answer score
=> 5 × 2
=> 10
Heena Wrong Answer —5
Wrong Answer Score —2
Heena wrong answer score —5
—2 × (— 5 )
— 10
Reshma Total Score → 10 + (—10)
→ 10 — 10
→ 0 score
Heena total score is 0 .

ANSWER
In a class test containing 10 questions, 5 marks are awarded for every correct answer and (−2) for each wrong and 0 for not attempted questions. We will just forget unattempted questions as it will give her 0 marks
So let us say for any student who gave x right questions and y wrong questions then total marks is given as 5x+(−2)y i.e
5x−2y total marks.
1) Mohan gets 4 correct and 6 incorrect so total score 5×4−2×6 i.e 8marks
2)Reshma gets 5 correct anf 5 incorrect do total marks scored is equal to
5×5−2×5 i.e 15marks
3)Heena gets 2 correct and 5 incorrect. She attempts only 7 questions so for the remaining 3 questions she will score zero marks.
So total marks scored by Heena is 5×2−5×2+0 i.e 0marks.
