    Solution:

    Sachin answered right in First three abilities and all question from easy category. it means his right answered was (6 × 5) + (10 × 3) + (4 × 3)

    =  30 + 30 + 12

    =  72 

    Sachin gave wrong answer to the question of 4 and 5 level from medium and difficult category = (10 × 2) + (4 × 2)

    =  20 + 8

    =  28

    Marks scored by Sachin = 72 × 1 - (28 × 0.33)

    = 72 - 9.24

    =  62.76

    Then  Sachin expected score is 62.76.
