# In an examination, a student scores 4 marks for every correct answer and loses I mark for every wrong answer. If he attempts in all 60 questions and secures 130 marks, the number of questions he attempts correctly, is:

 A) 35 B) 38 C) 40 D) 42

Explanation:

Let the number of correct answers be X.

Number of incorrect answers = (60 – X).

${\color{Blue}&space;\therefore&space;}$ 4x – (60 – x) = 130

=> 5x = 190  => x = 38

$\inline 17\frac{4}{7}+13\frac{2}{12}-?=11\frac{2}{3}$

 A) 16 B) 17 C) 18 D) 19

Explanation:

$\inline 17\frac{4}{7}+13\frac{2}{12}-?=11\frac{2}{3}$

$\inline \frac{123}{7}+\frac{275}{21}-?=\frac{35}{3}$

$\inline ?= \frac{123}{7}+\frac{275}{21}-\frac{35}{3}$

$\inline = \frac{369+275+-245}{21}=\frac{399}{21}=19$
