Answer 2

Answer:

The maximum marks is 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the min passing be x.

Student A got 42 percent marks. Marks obtained = x + 12.

Student B got 45 percent marks. Marks obtained = x + 30.

So, 45% - 42% of marks = x + 30 - (x + 12)

So, 3% of marks = 18

So, 1% of marks = 6

So,100% of marks = 600 -> maximum marks

Student A got 252 marks.

Student B got 270 marks.

Passing marks = 252 - 12 = 270 - 30 = 240
