Answer 2

Answer:

300 marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take

Maximum mark of examination = y

Student get  31 % mark and fails by 12 mark.

Passing mark is 35 %

So

Obtained mark = Passing mark - fails by mark

(3 /100) y = (35 /100) y - 12

0.31 y = 0.35 y -12

0.35 y - 0.31 y = 12

0.04 y = 12

y = 300

It means that Maximum mark of examination  is 300 marks.
