Certainly! Let's break down the solutions for both parts of the question step-by-step.

### (i) Daksh's Score Calculation
Daksh attempts all the questions but only gets 10 answers correct. We need to calculate his total score.

Given:
- Total number of questions: 15
- Marks for each correct answer: 4
- Marks for each incorrect answer: -2

Steps to calculate his score:

1. Correct Answers: Daksh has 10 correct answers.
2. Incorrect Answers: Since he attempts all questions, the remaining answers are incorrect.
- Total questions = 15
- Correct answers = 10
- Incorrect answers = Total questions - Correct answers
- Incorrect answers = 15 - 10 = 5

3. Calculate the total score:
- Score from correct answers = Number of correct answers [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] Marks per correct answer
- Score from correct answers = 10 [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] 4 = 40

- Score from incorrect answers = Number of incorrect answers [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] Marks per incorrect answer
- Score from incorrect answers = 5 [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] -2 = -10

- Total score = Score from correct answers + Score from incorrect answers
- Total score = 40 - 10 = 30

So, Daksh’s score is 30.

### (ii) Satvik's Score Calculation
Satvik gets only 4 answers correct and does not attempt 8 questions.

Steps to calculate his score:

1. Correct Answers: Satvik has 4 correct answers.
2. Unattempted Questions: Satvik does not attempt 8 questions.
3. Incorrect Answers: The remaining questions are incorrect.
- Total questions = 15
- Correct answers = 4
- Unattempted questions = 8
- Attempted questions = Total questions - Unattempted questions
- Attempted questions = 15 - 8 = 7
- Incorrect answers = Attempted questions - Correct answers
- Incorrect answers = 7 - 4 = 3

4. Calculate the total score:
- Score from correct answers = Number of correct answers [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] Marks per correct answer
- Score from correct answers = 4 [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] 4 = 16

- Score from incorrect answers = Number of incorrect answers [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] Marks per incorrect answer
- Score from incorrect answers = 3 [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] -2 = -6

- Total score = Score from correct answers + Score from incorrect answers
- Total score = 16 - 6 = 10

So, Satvik’s score is 10.

In summary:
- Daksh’s score is 30.
- Satvik’s score is 10.
