The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Let the number of correct answers be \( C \).
Number of wrong answers \( W = 2C \).
Total attempted questions \( C + W = 48 \).
Substituting \( W \): \( C + 2C = 48 \)
\( 3C = 48 \)
\( C = 16 \)
Number of wrong answers \( W = 2C \).
Total attempted questions \( C + W = 48 \).
Substituting \( W \): \( C + 2C = 48 \)
\( 3C = 48 \)
\( C = 16 \)
