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 Heena got 2 correct answers and 5 incorrect answers.

So, the total marks got by Heena for correct answers are given by: 2(5)=10

And, the total marks got by Heena for correct answers are given by: 5(-2)=-10.

And, the total marks got by Heena for unattempted answers are given by: 3(0)=0.

So, the score of Heena is given by: 10+(-10)+0=0.
