प्रश्न

उत्तर
Marks scored for 1 correct answer = +3
Marks scored for 1 incorrect answer = −2
Marks scored by Radhika = 20
Marks scored for 12 correct answers = 12 × 3 = 36
Marks scored for incorrect answers = Total marks scored − Marks scored for 12 correct answers
= 20 − 36
= −16
Marks scored for 1 incorrect answer = −2
Thus, number of incorrect answers = (−16) ÷ (−2)
= 8
Therefore, she attempted 8 questions incorrectly.
