Answer:
Correct answers= 18
Incorrect answers=30-18= 12 answers
Step-by-step explanation:
total questions=30
correct answers= x
incorrect answers= 30-x
given: 5 marks for each correct answer
therefore, marks for correct answers = 5*x = 5x
Given: 1 mark deducted for every incorrect answer
therefore, marks deducted = 1(30-x) = 30-x
Total marks scored= 78
★ The Difference of Marks scored for Correct Answers and Marks deducted for Incorrect Answers should be equal to 78
5x- (30-x) =78
5x-30+x=78
5x+x=78+30
6x= 108
x=108/6 = 18
Correct answers= 18
Incorrect answers=30-18= 12 answers
