उत्तर
Let the number of correctly answered questions be x .
Therefore, the number of unattempted or wrongly answered questions will be (180 - x) .
According to the question,
4x - 1(180 - x) = 450
or 5x = 450 + 180
or \[x = \frac{630}{5} = 126\]
Thus, number of correctly answered questions = 126 .
Number of unattempted or wrongly answered questions = 180 - 126 = 54 .
