Expert Answer
i.
Marks obtained by Rahul = 20
For 12 correct answers,
total marks = 12 × 3 = 36
Marks obtained for incorrect answer = 20 - 36 = -16
Number of incorrect answer = (-16) ÷ (-2) = 8
Therefore, he attempted 8 questions incorrectly.
ii.
Marks obtained by Savitha = -5
For 7 correct answers,
total marks = 7 × 3 = 21
Marks obtained for incorrect answer = -5 - 21 = -26
Number of incorrect answer = (-26) ÷ (-2) = 13
Therefore, he attempted 13questions incorrectly.
