  X+Y=20----->no of ques is 20
  on solving y=4 x=16
  => No. of correct ans is 16

• if correct answers=x
  total marks=20*10=200
  he get 148
  so,marks lost (200-148)=52
  now,(20-x)*10+(20-x)*3=52
  so,x=16 (ans)

• Let number of correct answers = x
  Total Marks given for correct answers = 10 * x
  Number of incorrect answers = 20-x
  Total Marks given for incorrect answers = 3 * (20-x)
  Then,
  Marks for Correct - Marks for Incorrect = Marks obtained
  That is,
  10x - 3(20-x) = 148
  On solving,
  x = 16
  
  Therefore, Number of correct answers = 16
