Solution

The correct option is A 30
Pranav gets 9 correct and 3 incorrect answers,
4 marks are awarded for every correct answer
So, for 9 correct answers, pranav gets 9 x 4 = 36 marks

Similarly, -2 are awarded for every incorrect answer.
So for 3 incorrect answers, pranav gets 3 x -2 = -6 marks
[ $∵$ a × (– b) = (– a) × b = – (a × b)]

His total score = 36 + (-6)
= 36 - 6
= 30
