$\textsf {\underline {\underline {Step-By-Step-Explanation}}}$

$\huge\sf\green {Given :}$

• Marks scored by a student = 42

• He scored 60 percent of the maximum marks.

$\huge\sf\green {To\:Find :}$

● Maximum marks of the examination.

$\huge\sf\green {Solution :}$

Let the maximum marks obtained be ' S '

Now,

According to Question

60% of S = 42

➡ $\dfrac {60}{100}$ × S = 42

➡ $\dfrac {60S}{100}$ = 42

➡ 60S = 4200

➡ S = $\dfrac {4200}{60}$

$\therefore$ S = 70

Answer : The maximum marks obtained in the examination is 70
