Answer 2

Percentage

(1) 300

It is given that a student scored $35\%$ marks and failed by 40 marks .

Another student gets $60\%$ marks and get 35 marks more than minimum required marks.

According to question,

Let the minimum required marks be p and maximum marks is  x.

$35\% \ of\ x +40=p-----------(i)\\\\and\\\\60\% \ of \ x -35=p------------(ii)$

on solving both equations, we can write,

$0.35x+40=p\\\\and\\\\0.60x-35=p$

on susbtituting value of p in equation(ii), we get,

$0.60x-35= 0.35x+40\\\\\implies 0.25x=75\\\\\implies x=300$

Hence the maximum marks will be 300.
