[Tex/LaTex] multi row table

multirowtables

I am trying to replicate the hand drawn table in latex.

desired output

So far what I have is the following code

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{cancel}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newtheorem{theorem}{THEOREM}
\newtheorem{proof}{PROOF}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{bigints}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{color,xcolor}
\usepackage{booktabs,array}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows}
\usepackage{polynom}
\usepackage{flexisym}
\usepackage{wallpaper}
\usepackage{blkarray}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepgfplotslibrary{fillbetween}
\newenvironment{tightcenter}{
\setlength\topsep{0pt}
\setlength\parskip{0pt}
\begin{center}}{\end{center}}
\begin{document}

\begin{center}{
\setlength\arraycolsep{6pt} % default is "5pt"
$\begin{array}{lccc}
\midrule
\multirow{2}{*}{SECTION A} & \multicolumn{1}{l}{\begin{array}{@{}c@{}}\text{Number of}\\\text{questions}\end{array}} & \multicolumn{1}{l}{\begin{array}{@{}c@{}}\text{Number of questions}\\\text{to be answered}\end{array}} & \multicolumn{1}{l}{\begin{array}{@{}c@{}}\text{Number of}\\\text{marks}\end{array}}\\[0.224cm]
\hline
 & \multicolumn{1}{c}{7} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{7} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{36} \\[0.224cm]
\hline
\text{SECTION B} & \begin{array}{@{}c@{}}\text{Number of}\\\text{questions}\end{array} & \begin{array}{@{}c@{}}\text{Number of questions}\\\text{to be answered}\end{array} & \begin{array}{@{}c@{}}\text{Number of}\\\text{marks}\end{array}\\[0.124cm]
\hline
& 4 & 2 & 24\\ 
\hline
&  &  & \text{Total }60\\
\hline
\end{array}$}
\end{center}
\end{document}

It seems to generate somewhat a similar table (as shown below), however the multi-row in the first column for Section A and Section B is not happening.

What I am getting

How do I achieve this? I also what to horizontally and vertically centre the texts in the table.

Thanks!

try

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{booktabs, makecell, multirow}

\begin{document}
    \begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lccc}
    \toprule
\multirow{3}{*}{SECTION A}
    & \makecell{Number of\\ questions}
        & \makecell{Number of questions\\ to be answered}
            & \makecell{Number of\\ marks}      \\
    \cmidrule{2-4}
    & 7 & 7 & 36                                \\
    \midrule
\multirow{3}{*}{SECTION B}
    & \makecell{Number of\\ questions}
        & \makecell{Number of questions\\ to be answered}
            & \makecell{Number of\\ marks}      \\
    \cmidrule{2-4}
    & 4 & 2 & 24                                \\
    \midrule
    &   &   & Total 60                          \\
    \bottomrule
\end{tabular}
    \end{center}
\end{document}

enter image description here

is this what you looking for?

as you can see, in above mwe (minimal working example) i remove from your code all what is not related to table. also i remove all not needed code complications as use \multicolumn for one column cells. observe, that instead hline are used rules from booktabls: \toprule, \midrule and \bottomrule. for two line cells' content is used \makecell from the \makecell package.
