In a class test (+3) marks are given for every correct answer and (-2) marks are given for every incorrect answer and no marks for not attempting any question.Marks given for correct answer = +3Marks given for incorrect answer = -2Marks given for not attempting = 0Radhika scored 20 marks. If she has got 12 correct answers, how many questions has she attempted incorrectly ?

Answer»

Total marks scored = 20
Number of correct answer = 12
Marks of for correct answer = 12 × 3 = 36
Also
Marks for incorrect answer = (-2) × Number of incorrect answer
Marks for not attempt answer = 0 × Number of not attempt = 0
Now,
Total marks = marks for correct answer + marks for incorrect answer + marks for not attempt
20 = 36 + (-2) × No of incorrect answers + 0
20 – 36 = (-2) × No of incorrect answers
-16 = (-2) × No of incorrect answer
\(\frac{-16}{-2}\) = No of incorrect answers
8 = No of incorrect answers
So, Radhika attempted 8 questions incorrectly

State whether the given statement are true (T) or false (F) :The sum of three different integers can never be zero.

Answer»

False.

Example:

Consider 3 different integers 5, 10 and -15.

Sum of 3 integers = 5 + 10 + (-15)

= 5 + 10 – 15

= 15 – 15

= 0

Therefore, the sum of three different integers can be zero.
