50. If you are able to attempt only 25 questions (50% of given questions)
you could get 50 marks in this section.

every question gives you four mark and if you have done wrong 1 mark
get deducted. there are total 75 questions and they ask you to attempt
any 25 (1/3 of given). I will say you to attempt only 18 questions (less
