Answer:
There will be more essay questions
Explanation:
Assume that the number of mcq questions is x and that the number of essay questions is y
We are given that:
1- The total number of questions is 52.
This means that:
x + y = 52
This equation can be rewritten as:
y = 52 - x ..................> equation I
2- Each mcq question is worth 0.5 point and each essay question is worth 2.5 points. Also, the total number of points is 100
This means that:
0.5x + 2.5y = 100 ............> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for x as follows:
0.5x + 2.5y = 100
0.5x + 2.5(52-x) = 100
0.5x + 130 - 2.5x = 100
-2x = -30
x = 15
Substitute with x in equation I to get y:
y = 52 - x
y = 52 - 15
y = 37
Based on the above:
Number of mcq questions = x = 15 questions
Number of essay questions = y = 37 questions
Therefore, there would be more essay questions which means you should spend more time studying essay questions.
Hope this helps :)
