A competitive exam consists of multiple choice questions. Every correct answer will award you 1 mark and every incorrect answer will deduct 0.25 marks. Priya know some answers and she guessed the rest. Suppose Priya answered all 100 questions and only secured 50 marks
a. Write the linear equation for the above given situation.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Priya knows as (x) and the number of guessed answers as (y). Given that Priya secured 50 marks out of 100, we can write the linear equation as follows:

[ \text{Total Marks} = \text{Marks for Correct Answers} - \text{Marks for Incorrect Answers} ]

The total marks are 50:

[ 50 = x \cdot 1 - y \cdot 0.25 ]

Simplifying the equation:

[ 50 = x - 0.25y ]
