Question

A person got 45% marks in an exam and failed to qualify for the next round by 12 marks. Another person got 54% marks in the same exam and cleared the qualifying marks by 10.5 marks. Find the maximum marks that can be obtained in the exam? (Percentage 1)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total marks be x

Therefore, passing marks = 45x/100 +12

Or passing marks = 54x/100 -10.5

Therefore, 45x+1200/100 = 54x-1050/100

45x + 120 = 54x -105

1200+1050= 54x-45x

2250= 9x

x = 2250/9

x = 250

Hoep you have understood my explanation!!
