Given :
Total questions = 50
Essay questions = 2
Ratio of multiple choice and fill in the blanks = 5:1
Let the common factor of ratio be x , then = 5x : x
Total Questions of multiple choice and fill in the blanks type = 50 - 2
= 48
So, 5x + x = 48
6x = 48
x = 48/6
x = 8
So, Number of multiple choice questions = 5 × 8
= 40
And, number of fill in the blanks questions = 8
