Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that each question after the first is worth 4 points more than the preceding question.

Total questions = 10

Let a be the marks for the first question.

Then the marks for 10 questions in order are a, a+4, a+8,....a+36

This is an arithmetic sequence with common difference d =4

Sum of 10 terms =S_{10} =\frac{10}{2} (2a+36)\\=10a+180

This sum is given as 360

Equating we get

10a+180 =360\\a = 18

Hence III question will have points as 18+2(4) = 26.

87% i think but don't hold me to that
you just do 65/5=13% so 13% is missing so you take that from 100 which gives 87
