  • Question
  • In an examination, a student scored 4 marks for every correct answer and losses 1 mark for every wrong answer. A student attempted all the 200 question and scores 200 marks. Find the number of questions, he answer correctly.


  • Options
  • A. 82
  • B. 80
  • C. 68
  • D. 60

  • Correct Answer
  • 80 

    Explanation

    Let the number of correct answer be x and number of wrong answer be y.
    Then, 4x - y = 200 ..(i)
    and x + y = 200 ..(ii)

    On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
    4x - y = 200
    x + y = 200
    ----------------
    5x = 400
    ? x = 80
