Answer:
8 questions each for short answer questions and 8 questions of Multiple Choice Questions type.
A total of 16 questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of multiple-choice questions and the number of short answer type questions are the same.
Let it be equal to [tex]x[/tex]
→Average time it takes to attempt multiple choice question = 2 minutes
→Total time it takes to attempt multiple choice question = [tex]2 * x[/tex] minutes
→Average time it takes to attempt short answer type question = 3.5 minutes
→Total Time it takes to attempt short answer type question = [tex]3.5 * x[/tex] minutes
Total time for the test should be less than 45 minutes.
Now finally, we can make an equation out of the information listed above:
[tex]2x +3.5x <45[/tex]
[tex]\\ 5.5x <45[/tex]
[tex]x < 8.18[/tex]
Hence the value of [tex]x = 8[/tex]
