In a competitive exam, each correct answer gets 3 points and each wrong answer gets 1 point dedicated students score 220 from 140 questions. How many answer were wrong?
- 50
- 60
- 90
- None of these
Explanation
Total questions = 140Marks for correct answer = +3
Marks for wrong answer = -1
Total score = 220
Let correct answers = C
Let wrong answers = W
We have two equations:
1. C + W = 140
2. 3 x C - 1 x W = 220
From equation 1: C = 140 - W
Put C in equation 2:
3 x (140 - W) - W = 220
420 - 3W - W = 220
420 - 4W = 220
4W = 420 - 220
4W = 200
W = 200 / 4
W = 50
