Solution:

From the given information we get the following table

	Section A	Section B	Section C
Total Questions	10	10	10
Marks for correct answers	2	3	5
Deduction for wrong answers	-0.5	0	0
Deduction for Unattempted answers	-0.5	0	0

The possible maximum marks are shown below.

S.No	Marks	Case	Explanation
1	100	All answers are correct	$10 × 2+10 × 3+10 × 5=100$
2	97.5	one answer in Sec-A is wrong.	$9 × 2+10 × 3+10 × 5-0.5=97.5$
3	-7	one answer in Sec-B is wrong.	$10 × 2+9 × 3+10 × 5=97$
4	95	one answer in Sec- C is wrong.	$10 × 2+10 × 3+9 × 5=95$
5	94.5	one answer is wrong in each section A & B.	$9 × 2+9 × 3+10 × 5-0.5=94.5$
6	94	Two answers in Sec-C are wrong.	$10 × 2+8 × 3+10 × 5=94$
