	No. of Questions	Marks
Correct answers	141 x 1	141
Incorrect answers	4 x ⅓	Minus 1.33
Net Marks		139.67

Provisional Score:  139.67 out of 145 

Now recalculate the same for out of 150

145      —----------  139.67 

150     —------------   ?

= 150 / 145 x 139.67  = 113.45

Now recalculate the same for out of 150

148      —----------  90.67 

150     —------------   ?

= 150 / 148 x 90.67  = 113.45

So Net Score = 91.90 out of 150
