\n" ); document.write( "in competiative examination, there were 60 questions, the correct answer would carry 2 marks and for incorrect 1 mark would be subtracted. yash had attempted all the questions and he got total 90 marks. then how many questions he got wrong?
\n" ); document.write( "

Let number of wrong answers be W
\n" );
document.write( "The number of correct answers = 60 - W
\n" );
document.write( "We then get the following equation: - 1(W) + 2(60 - W) = 90
\n" );
document.write( "Solve this for W, or the number of wrong answers. You should get 10.
\n" );
document.write( "That's all. Nothing COMPLEX and/or CONFUSING. \n" );

\n" );
