Question

Mohini's Biology test had 250 questions i.e., 20 Macromolecules, 60 Homeostasis and 70 Immunology questions. Although she answered 70% of the Macromolecules, 40% of the Homeostasis and 60% of the Immunology questions correctly, but did not pass the test. How many more question she would have needed to answer correctly to earn a 60% passing grade?

A 66 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 78 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 62 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Number of questions attempted correctly = (70% of 20 + 40% of 60 + 60% of 70) ⇒ (14 + 24 + 42) = 80. Questions to be answered correctly for 60% grade= 60% of 250 = 150 So, Required number of questions= (150 – 80) = 70
