Question

A medical student has to secure 40% marks to pass. He gets 40 and fails by 20 marks.
Find the maximum marks.

Answer 1

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

He got 40. He failed by 20. So, the passing marks are 40+20=60

The student needs 60 to pass. But passing marks are 40% of total.

Therefore, total marks = 60/40% = 60/0.4 = 150

Answer 2

Answer:

that means 40%=60marks

so, for 1%, 60/40=1.5

or for max. marks I. e. 100%

=1.5*100

=150 marks
