Question

A candidate appearing for an examination has to secure 35% marks to pass. But he secured only 40 marks and failed by 30 marks. What w ould be the maximum marks of test ?



a. 280



b. 180



c. 200



d. 150

Answer 1

let maximum mark = 100%
passing mark is 35 % and after to obtain 40 mark he could pass if he would have gained 30 more. means if he gets (40+30) =70mark , he will pass.
so 70 mark will be equal to 35%
if 35% = 70 then 100% = (70/35)×100
= 200 mark.
