Solution

The correct option is B 35
Marks obtained for 1 right answer = +3.
Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = -1.
Total marks scored by Alex = 90.
Number of questions attempted = Half of 100 = 100 ÷ 2 = 50 questions.
Let number of correct answers be x.
Number of incorrect answers = (50 – x)

3x + (50 - x)(-1) = 90
3x - 50 + x = 90
4x = 90 + 50
4x = 140
x = 35

Therefore number of questions answered correctly = 35
