Find the required value:

Since it is given that, 5 marks are awarded for every correct answer and (-2) marks are awarded for every incorrect answer and 0 for questions not attempted. and Mohan got 4 correct answers and 6 incorrect answers.

So, the total marks got by Mohan for correct answers are given by: 4(5)=20

And, the total marks got by Mohan for correct answers are given by: 6(-2)=-12

So, the score of Mohan is given by: 20+(-12)=8.

Hence, the score of Mohan is 8 marks.
