Radhika attempted 8 questions incorrectly, while Mohini attempted 13 questions incorrectly.

The number of Radhika's incorrect attempt

The given parameters are:

Correct = +3

Wrong = -2

Let the correct attempt be x and the incorrect attempt be y.

The equation that represents the total score is:

Total = 3x - 2y

She scored a total of 20.

So, we have:

3x - 2y = 20

She got 12 correctly.

So, we have:

3 * 12 - 2y = 20

Evaluate the product

36 - 2y = 20

Subtract 36 from both sides

-2y = -16

Divide by -2

y = 8

Hence, Radhika attempted 8 questions incorrectly.

The number of Mohini's incorrect attempt

In (a), we have the equation that represents the total score is:

Total = 3x - 2y

She scored a total of -5

So, we have:

3x - 2y = -5

She got 7 correctly.

So, we have:

3 * 7 - 2y = -5

Evaluate the product

21 - 2y = -5

Subtract 21 from both sides

-2y = -26

Divide by -2

y = 13

Hence, Mohini attempted 13 questions incorrectly.
