Explanation

Let the number of

$2$ marks question attempted correctly be

$x$
Then the number of

$4$ marks questions attempted correctly

$= ( 15 - x)$

Total marks obtained=

$40$
So,

$x \times 2 + (15 - x ) \times 4 = 40$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 2x + 60 - 4x = 40$

$\Rightarrow -2x=-20$

Hence,

$x=10$ .
