SSC CHSL Model Paper 20

Question : 55 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

Last year in CAT, each section of the question paper had different weightage. The weightage of QA, Dl and VA/RC sections was 8, 9 and 10 respectively. The maximum marks in all the three sections together were 810. Wrong answer did not carry negative marks as a penalty. If Padma had got 20% more marks in QA and 8% more marks in Dl and 7.14% more marks in VA/RC, then she would have got 100% marks in all the three sections. The total marks that Padam scored is

Solution:

8x + 9x + 10x = 810 ⇒ x = 30
Total marks in QA → 240, Dl → 270

\VA/\RC→300

Now her score in QA

→ 240/1.2=200

Her score in Dl

=270/1.08=250

Her score in

\VA/\RC=300/{1.0714}=280

Her total score = 200 + 250 + 280 = 730.
