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.
