उत्तर
i. Total marks scored by Sona = 20
Total correct answers = 10
∴ Marks for correct answers = 10 × 3 = 30
but she got 20 marks.
∴ Marks for incorrect answers = 20 – 30 = –10
–1 mark is given for every incorrect answer.
ii. Total correct answers = 10
Total incorrect answers = 10 ...(From (i) part)
∴ Total questions given in the test = 10 + 10 = 20
