Let x be the number of he answered right
so,(26-x) be the number of questions answered wrong.

it says that there are total 26 questions.
say 10x-16y=0 because total questions are categorised into 10 correct and 16 incorrect then x/y=8/5 satisfies. so 10 answers are correct

if correct ans questions are 10 than 10*8=80
than wrong ans questions are 16than 16*5=80
so corret ans-wrong ans=0.

if 10 he answered correctly then he get 10*8=80
then 16 he answered wrongly ,16*8=80

suppose ans be 10 then 10*8=80
then for wrng ans=26-10=16*-5=-80
finally 80-80=0
so ans is 10

+8 for 10 ques =(10×8)=+80
-5 for 16 ques =(16×5)=-80
26ques divided as 10(correct)+16(wrong)
So, ans is 10

Let number of right answer be x
8x-5(26-x) =0 as total questions are 26
=>x=10

X+Y=26
8X-5Y=0
13X=26*5
X=10
Y=16
ANSWER 10

let x are correct and (26-x) questions are wrong
8*x+ (-5)*(26-x) = 0
on solving we get
x = 10
