Question

3. In an examination it is required to get 65% of the aggregate marks to pass. A student gets
540 marks and is declared failed by 5% marks. What are the maximum aggregate marks a
student can get?
(1) 900 (2) 860
(3) 750
(4) Data inadequate (5) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the total aggregate marks be x

According to question

65%x= 540+5%x

65x/100= 540+5x/100

65x/100= (54000+5x)/100

65x=54000+5x

65x-5x=54000

60x=54000

x= 54000/60

x= 900

therefore the answer is 1) 900

Answer 2

Answer:

a/q

student get 60% in examination

so,60% of x = 540

=60/100 *x =540

= 3x/5=540

=3x=540*5

=3x=2700

=x=2700/3

then the x be 900
