Hello Niranjan,
See in the information brochure of JEE-Main 2021 it is only written that the candidate should attempt only 5 questions out of 10 numerical based questions and it is not mentioned anywhere that what will happen if you attempt all the 10 questions. So there might be the possibility that they will consider the best five or there is also a possibility that it might reject all those 10 question and won't give you marks even for your correct attempts. So there are various possibilities because NTA has not cleared it anywhere, so what I would recommend you that just go for only 5 numerical-based questions which you think best of your knowledge.
