(B) 30%
(D) 50%
(A) 40%
(C) 33%​

Answer 1

Answer:

D)50%.This is your answer.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Marks obtained by boy = 25

Marks by which he failed =15

Maximum marks = 80

As the boy failed by 15 marks, passing marks should

be,

Marks obtained by boy +Marks by which he failed

So, Passing marks 25 + 15 = 40

Percentage of passing marks, = Passing marks x 100

Maximum marks = 40/80 X 100

= 50%

So, percentage of passing = 50%
