Given:

A student solves 'n' question of mathematics.

The average of unit digits of eight answers = 7

The average of unit digits of the remaining answers = 2

If the average of unit digits of all the answers = 4

Calculation:

According to the question,

The average of unit digits of eight answers = 7

The sum of unit digits of eight answers = 7 × 8 = 56

The average of unit digits of the (n - 8) answers = 2

The sum of unit digits of the (n - 8) answers = (n - 8) × 2 = 2n - 16

The average of unit digits of all the answers = 4

The sum of unit digits of all the answers = 4n

Now, 

⇒ 4n = 2n - 16 + 56

⇒ 2n = 40

⇒ n = 20

Therefore, "20" is the required answer.
