Solution

The correct option is D 7
Marks awarded for one correct answer = +5
Marks awarded for one incorrect answer = -2
Marks awarded for unattempted answer = 0
Of the 7 questions Ram has attempted, he got 3 correct answers and 4 incorrect answers.
So, the total score = 3 $\times$ (+5) + 4 $\times$ (-2)
= 15 - 8 = 7
Therefore, Ram's score is 7.
