IV. A test consists of ‘True’ or ‘False’ questions. One mark is awarded for every correct answer while 1/4 mark is deducted for every wrong answer. A student knew answers to some of the questions. Rest of the questions he attempted by guessing. He answered 120 questions and got 90 marks.
Question. If answer to all questions he attempted by guessing were wrong and answered 80 correctly, then how many marks he got ?
Answer
Marks = 80 – 1/ 4 of 40 = 70
Question. If answer to all questions he attempted by guessing were wrong, then how many questions did he answer correctly?
Answer
No. of correct questions are 96
Question. If answer to all questions he attempted by guessing were wrong, then how many questions answered correctly to score 95 marks?
Answer
Here, x + y = 120 . x−1/4 y = 95
