Question

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, then what is the number of questions in the test?

Answer 1

20 Questions

Explanation:

The candidates attempted 12 Questions and Secured Full marks in all 12 questions to get a score of 60%.

Since all questions carries equal marks:

Therefore, 60% of the total number of question=12

Let the total number of questions =x

It means therefore that:

60% of x =12

60/100 X x= 12

0.6 X x = 12

x= 12/0.6 = 20

There are a total of 20 questions in the test.
