The number of questions on the test could be 20, 25, 50 or 100. Each would give the same answer.

Answer is 12......For suppose no. of questions are 20 carrying 5 marks each. They got 3/4th of their answers correct i.e. 60 answers out of 80. Apart from Andrea others got 12 wrong answers in total. So Andrea's got 8 wrong answers out of 20. So,Andrea has 12 correct answers....:-) The answer will be same for any no. Of questions........
