Solution

The correct option is C 10
Let us assume x= Multiple Choice questions
Let y= Yes/No questions
Then as per the given statement form equations,

x+y=10 ----- (1)
10x+3y=100 ----- (2)

Multiply the equation (1) by 3 and then subtract the equations (3) and (4), we get

3x+3y=30 ----- (3)
10x+3y=100 ----- (4)
_____________
7x=70

x=707=10
Therefore, there are 10 multiple choice questions.
