Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let No. of correct answer be x
and, No. of incorrect answer be y
We are given,
3x-y = 40 .....................................................(1)
and, 4x-2y = 40 = 2x-y = 20 ................................(2)
By subtracting Eqn. (1) from Eqn. (2)
2x-y = 20
+ 3x-y = +40
- + -
= -x = -20
so , x= 20
By putting x = 20 in eqn (1)
3(20) - y = 40
so, 60 - y =40
so, y = 20
So Total No of Questions = x + y = 20 + 20
= 40
