Observe that it is asked
about number of incorrect
answers.
Let the number of
incorrect answers be ‘x’ => number of correct answers = 30-x
“1 mark is given for each
correct answer and 0.25 is deducted for every incorrect answer”
=> total marks scored
by Ankur =
(30-x)*1 - x*(0.25) =
13.75
Multiplying with 4 on both
sides:
=> 120-4x-x =55 =>
5x = 65 => x = 13
Answer (5)
