In an examination, a student scores 4 marks for every correct answer and loses I mark for every wrong answer. If he attempts in all 60 questions and secures 130 marks, the number of questions he attempts correctly, is:

Correct Answer: 38

Explanation:

Let the number of correct answers be X.


Number of incorrect answers = (60 – X).


Therefore, 4x – (60 – x) = 130 


=> 5x = 190  => x = 38
