In an objective examination of 90 questions, 5 marks are allotted for every correct answer and 2 marks are deducted for every wrong answer. After attempting all the 90 questions a student got a total of 387 marks. Find the number of questions that he attempted wrong
Let the number of correct answers be C and wrong answers be W.
C + W = 90 ---(1)
5C - 2W = 387 ---(2)
Multiplying equation 1 by 5 and then subtracting, we get
7W = 450 - 387 = 63
W = 9
