In a test a candidate attempted only 8 Questions and secured 50% marks in each of the questions if the obtained a total of 40% in the test and all questions in the test carried equal marks, how many questions were there in the test?

A. 8
B. 10
C. 15
D. 16
Explanation:
Let the marks of each question be 10
Total marks got by the candidate = 8 x 5 =40 marks
40% = 40 : 100 = 100
Therefore, Total number of questions = 100/10 =10
