There are 38 five point questions and 30 two points questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Worth of points in test = 250
Number of questions = 68
Let,
x represent the number of 5 points questions
y represent the number of 2 points question
According to given statement;
x+y=68 Eqn 1
5x+2y=250 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
Dividing both sides by 3
Putting x=38 in Eqn 1
There are 38 five point questions and 30 two points questions.
