Answer 1

Answer:

A. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

If 10 questions are correct total marks =10 *8

                                                               =80

Then 16 questions are wrong = 16 *5

                                                  =80

Hence total marks =Sum of marks got - sum of marks lost

                               =0
