Solution

Marks obtained for 1 right answer = +3
Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer= -2

i) Marks scored by Radhika =20
Marks obtained for 12 correct answers = 12× 3 = 36
Marks obtained for in correct answers = Total score - Marks obtained for 12 correct answers
= 20 - 36 = -16
Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer= -2
Thus, number of incorrect answers = (-16) ÷ (-2) = 8 Therefore, she attempted 8 questions wrongly.
