Question

36% of maximum marks is required to pass a test. A student gets 123 marks and is declared fail by 39 marks. Find the maximum marks.

Answer 1

Let the total marks be x

Marks need to pass= 36/100× x = 9/25 × x

Marks obtained by student = 123

Marks needed to pass = 123+ 39 = 162

9/25x= 162

x= 162× 25/9

x= 450

Maximum marks = 450
