Question

In a test (+5) marks are given for every correct answer and (-2) marks are given for every incorrect answer and 0 for answer not attempted. Ram gets 3 correct and 4 incorrect out of 7 questions he attempted. What is his score?​ please help its maths

Answer 1

Answer: His score is 7.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Correct answer = +5

Incorrect answer =-2

Unattempted =0

Ram gets 3 correct and 4 incorrect out of 7 questions.

He attempted 7 questions (3 correct +4 incorrect) so, there are not unattempted questions.

Next, we have to multiply the number of correct questions by the marks given for each correct question ( some process for the incorrect questions)

3 correct = 3 (5) = +15

4 incorrect = 4 (-2) = -8

Adding both results:

+15-8= 7

His score is 7.
