In a true-false test containing 50 questions, a student is to be awarded 2 marks for every correct answer and –2 for every incorrect answer and 0 for not supplying any answer. If Yash secured 94 marks in a test, what are the possibilities of his marking correct or wrong answer?
Answer :
Given is that, there are total 50 questions in a test.
Marks awarded for correct answer = 2
Marks awarded for incorrect answer = -2
Marks awarded for unattempting an answer = 0
Score of Yash in the test = 94
We can find minimum correct answers in Yash’s test paper.
So, minimum correct answer is given by
⇒
⇒ Minimum answers = 47
So possibilities are:
(i). Yash attempted 47 answers correct, while (50 – 47 =) 3 unattempted.
Check: Marks on 47 correct answers = 47 × 2 = 94
Marks on remaining 3 unattempted answers = 3 × 0 = 0
Total marks of Yash should be 94.
Total marks = Marks on 47 correct answers + Marks on 3 unattempted answers
⇒ Total marks = 94 + 0
⇒ Total marks = 94
(ii). Yash attempted 48 answers correct, while 1 answer wrong and 1 unattempted.
Check: Marks on 48 correct answers = 48 × 2 = 96
Marks on 1 wrong answer = 1 × -2 = -2
Marks on 1 unattempted answer = 1 × 0
Total marks should come out to be 94.
Total marks = Marks on 48 correct answers + Marks on 1 wrong answer + Marks on 1 unattempted
⇒ Total marks = 96 – 2 + 0
⇒ Total marks = 94
