Answer 1

Answer: 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Marks secured = 40

If he failed by 40 marks, he should have secured 40 + 40 = 80 to pass

Passing score is 40% = 80

So 100% = 80 X $\frac{100}{40}$ = 200

So the maximum marks are 200

Answer 2

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

let X be the maximum marks.

40+40 =80

80/ X ×100%= 40%

8000 / X = 40 %

8000/40= X

200 = X

so the maximum marks are 200
