We are given;

Marks obtained for 1 right answer = +3

Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = −2

(i) Marks scored by Radhika = 20

Marks obtained for 12 correct answers = 12 × 3 = 36

Marks obtained for incorrect answers = Total score − Marks obtained for 12 correct answers = 20 − 36 = −16

Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = −2

Thus, number of incorrect answers = (−16) ÷(−2) = 8

Therefore, the number of incorrect answers made by Radhika = 8

(ii) Marks scored by Mohini = −5

Marks obtained for 7 correct answers = 7 × 3 = 21

Marks obtained for incorrect answers = Total score − Marks obtained for 12 correct answers = − 5 − 21 = −26

Marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = −2

Thus, number of incorrect answers = (−26) ÷ (−2) = 13

So, the number of incorrect answers made by Mohini = 13
