In a 100-item test, Ricky didn’t answer 6 questions
\n" ); document.write( "so he attempted 94 questions in total
\n" ); document.write( "let the number of correct answers he got be = c
\n" ); document.write( "then number of mistakes will be 94-c\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given, his number of correct answers is 4 more than 4 times his mistakes\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so c = 4+4(94-c)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " => c=4+376-4c
\n" ); document.write( " => 5c=380\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=> c = 76\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so no. of correct answers he got = 76
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
