​

Answer 1

Answer:

450

Explanation:

The passing marks will be 162,as the students fails by 39 marks hence to find the passing marks: 123+39=162

Now, 36% of the max. marks is required to pass. Hence,

36/100 * max. marks = 162

let max. marks be x

therefore,

36/100 * x= 162

16200/36=x

therefore x=450

hence the maximum marks will be 450
