True False Questions 4E13E6
1. **Problem statement:** A student answered 120 True/False questions, scoring 90 marks. Each correct answer gives 1 mark, each wrong answer deducts 1/4 mark. The student knew some answers and guessed the rest. If all guessed answers were wrong, find:
i. How many questions did he answer correctly?
ii. How many questions did he guess?
2. **Formula and rules:**
- Let $c$ = number of correct answers.
- Let $g$ = number of guessed questions (all wrong).
- Total questions: $c + g = 120$
- Total marks: $1 \times c - \frac{1}{4} \times g = 90$
3. **Step-by-step solution:**
i. From total questions: $$c + g = 120 \implies g = 120 - c$$
ii. Substitute $g$ into marks equation:
$$c - \frac{1}{4}(120 - c) = 90$$
Simplify:
$$c - 30 + \frac{c}{4} = 90$$
Multiply both sides by 4 to clear fraction:
$$4c - 120 + c = 360$$
$$5c - 120 = 360$$
$$5c = 480$$
$$c = \frac{480}{5} = 96$$
iii. Find $g$:
$$g = 120 - 96 = 24$$
4. **Answer:**
i. The student answered **96** questions correctly.
ii. The student guessed **24** questions (all wrong).
