Marks obtained for 1 right answer = +3

Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = −2

(i) Marks scored by Radhika = 20

Marks obtained for 12 correct answers = 12 × 3 = 36

Marks obtained for incorrect answers = Total score − Marks obtained for 12 correct answers

= 20 − 36 = −16

Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = −2

Thus, number of incorrect answers = (−16) ÷(−2) = 8

Therefore, she attempted 8 questions wrongly.

(ii) Marks scored by Mohini = −5

Marks obtained for 7 correct answers = 7 × 3 = 21

Marks obtained for incorrect answers = Total score − Marks obtained for 12 correct answers

= − 5 − 21 = −26

Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = −2

Thus, number of incorrect answers = (−26) ÷(−2) = 13

Therefore, she attempted 13 questions wrongly.

(iii) Total marks scored by Rakesh = 18

Number of questions attempted = 16

(Number of correct answers)(3) + (Number of incorrect answers)(−2) = 18

⇒(Number of correct answers)(3) + (16 − Number of correct answers)(−2) = 18

⇒(Number of correct answers)(3) + −32 + 2(Number of correct answers) = 18

⇒(Number of correct answers)(5) + −32 = 18

⇒(Number of correct answers)(5) = 18 + 32 = 50

⇒ Number of correct answers = 10

∴Number of incorrect answers = 16 − 10 = 6

∴Total number of correct and incorrect answers scored by Rakesh is 10 and 6 respectively.
