In an examination, a student scores 4 marks for every correct answer and losses 1 mark for every wrong answer. A student attempted all the 200 questions and scored 200 marks. The number of questions, he answered correctly was -

A. 82

B. 80

C. 68

D. 60

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let us assume that he answered x question correctly. Marks scored by him in x question = 4x
Wrong answer would be 200 - x

According to question,
4x - (200 - x) = 200
or 4x - 200 + x = 200
or 5x = 200 + 200 = 400
or x = 80
