Question (a) Since all questions are answered, none were blank. The score was zero, so for every 2 questions answered correctly (+12), 3 questions were incorrect (-12). Total is 20 questions. Hence, 8 correct 12 wrong.

Question (b) For every correct answer (+6), he has an incorrect answer (-4). So for every pair of correct/incorrect answer, he scores +2. 8 pairs of +2 makes final score of 16. Hence, 4 questions were blank.

Is there another method to solve this other than using parts and units... Which to some is actually simultaneous equation. Using that method will solve this easily but without much thinking ... Can a model be drawn for this??

If he sold 20 apples and 22 oranges, then he will still have 10% more oranges than apples. Then he sold the remainder 26 oranges, and end up with oranges being 90% of apples. Which means that 26 oranges = 20% (110%-90%) Hence, 10% = 13 oranges 90% = 117 oranges (ans)
