Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum number of marks is 350

Pass mark =350*40/100=140

But he got 160 which is 20 more than the required.

Answer 2

The maximum number of marks is 350.

Given:

A student had to secure 40% marks to pass.

He gets 160 marks and secures 20 marks more than the passing mark required.

To Find:

The maximum number of marks.

Solution:

Let us assume that the maximum number of marks is 'n'.

We are given that a student had to secure 40% marks to pass.

Hence, the passing marks = 40% of the maximum marks = 40n/100.

The student gets 160 marks, which is 20 marks more than the passing marks. Writing this down in terms of an expression, we have:

160 = 40n/100 + 20

⇒ 160-20 = 40n/100

⇒ n = (140x100)/40 = 350.

∴ n = 350.

Hence, the maximum number of marks is 350.
