In an examination, Ritu attempted all the questions and answered 8% of the questions incorrectly. If she answered 14 questions incorrectly, then how many questions did she attempt correctly?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 161
The 14 wrong answers are 8% of all the questions, so the total is found first; she attempted every question, so the rest are correct.
Total questions \(\displaystyle =\frac{14\times100}{8}=175\)
Correct answers \(=175-14=161\)
