Answer:

Let's calculate the scores for both the girl and the boy based on the given information:

**For the girl:**

- Total questions attempted = 15

- Correct answers = 10

- Incorrect answers = 15 - 10 = 5

- Score from correct answers = 10 * 5 = 50 marks

- Score deducted for incorrect answers = 5 * 1 = 5 marks

- Total score = 50 - 5 = **45 marks**

**For the boy:**

- Total questions attempted = 18

- Correct answers = 15

- Incorrect answers = 18 - 15 = 3

- Score from correct answers = 15 * 5 = 75 marks

- Score deducted for incorrect answers = 3 * 1 = 3 marks

- Total score = 75 - 3 = **72 marks**

Therefore, the girl scored **45 marks**, and the boy scored **72 marks** in the examination.
