In an exam of 80 questions, a correct answer is given +1 mark, a wrong answer is given —1 mark, and if a question is not attempted there are zero marks. If a student attempted only 80% of the questions and got 32 marks, then how many questions did he answer correctly?
Attempted questions = 80 $$\times \frac{80}{100}$$ = 64
Marks got = 32
Marks deduct = 64 - 32 = 32
So, Wrong answer = 32/2 = 16
So, Correct answer = 32 +Â 16 = 48
$$\therefore$$ The correct answer is option B.
