Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 20

Given:

A candidate attempted 12 questions and secured full marks in all of them.

If he obtained 60% in the test and all questions carried equal marks

Calculation:

Let the number of question in the test be x

A candidate attempted 12 question

According to the question,

60% of x = 12

⇒ 60x/100 = 12

⇒ x = 1200/60

⇒ x = 20

∴ The number of questions in the test is 20.
