Newton designed a test paper. one correct then +1, wrong -1, left unattempted -1/3. if seeta give this test there is surety that she will wrong atleast 1 question. If Newton gives test he will all the questions correctly. What is the max. common score they can achieve.

• now check for newton how much he can score:
  1 question he left-99-1/3 x seeta have atleast 1 question wrong max she can score is 99
  2 question he left-98-2/3 x if she left 1 question so got-98-1-1/3=98-4/3
  3question he left-97-1 i/ if he attempts all questions having 2 incorrect 98-2=96
  hence 96 is max common marks they can attain

• what if, Newton got 100 out 100 as he solved all the question correctly(I'm assuming he didn't leave any question unattempted)& seeta can get max to max 99,as she surely got 1 question wrong.so,maximum common score can be 99
