Question 1 Exercise 1.3

In a class test containing 10 questions, 5 marks are awarded for every correct answer and (–2) marks are awarded for every incorrect answer and 0 for questions not attempted. Reshma gets five correct answers and five incorrect answers, what is her score?

Answer:

From the question,

Marks awarded for 1 correct answer = 5

Then,

Total marks awarded for 5 correct answer = 5 × 5 = 25

Marks awarded for 1 wrong answer = -2

Then,

Total marks awarded for 5 wrong answer = 5 × -2 = -10

∴Total score obtained by Reshma = 25 + (-10)

= 25 – 10

= 15
