5. In a class test containing 15 questions, 4 marks are given for every correct answer and (–2) marks are given for every incorrect answer. Daniel attempts all questions but only 9 of her answers are correct. What is her total score?
🔘 24
🔘 56
🔘 -24
🔘 -12
🔘 36
Show Answers
Answer: A 24 So, marks given for 9 correct answers = 4 × 9 = 36
Marks given for one incorrect answer = – 2
So, marks given for 6 = (15 – 9) incorrect answers = (–2) × 6 = –12
Therefore, Gurpreet’s total score = 36 + ( –12) = 24

6 (i) An elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 5 meters per minute. What will be its position after one hour?
🔘 50
🔘 150
🔘 200
🔘 250
🔘 300
Show Answers
Answer: E 300 Change in position of the elevator in one minute = – 5 m Position of the elevator after 60 minutes = (–5) × 60 = – 300 m, i.e., 300 m below down from the starting position of the elevator.
6 (ii) If it beings to descend from 15 m above the ground, what will be its position after 45 minutes?
🔘 60 m
🔘 110 m
🔘 180 m
🔘 210 m
🔘 330 m
Show Answers
Answer:D 210 m Change in position of the elevator in 45 minutes = (–5) × 45 = –225 m, i.e., 225 m
below ground level. So, the final position of the elevator = –225 + 15 = –210 m, i.e., 210 m below ground level.
