In an exam, a correct answer gives 5 marks and a wrong answer gives -2 marks. Out of 30 questions, the total score is 108. How many answers are correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 24

Let c be the number of correct answers and w be the number of wrong answers. Since all 30 questions are counted, c + w = 30. The marking rule gives the second linear equation 5c - 2w = 108, because correct answers add marks and wrong answers subtract marks. From the first equation, w = 30 - c. Substitution gives 5c - 2(30 - c) = 108, so 5c - 60 + 2c = 108, 7c = 168, and c = 24. Thus option C is correct. Verification is immediate: 24 correct answers give 24 × 5 = 120 marks, while 6 wrong answers deduct 6 × 2 = 12 marks, leaving 120 - 12 = 108. The other options do not produce the stated score.
