  • Question
  • 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:


  • Options
  • A. 35
  • B. 38
  • C. 40
  • D. 42

  • 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
