Answer 1

Here , in the above Question , the following information is given -


A student secures 40 percent of the maximum marks to pass.


He gets 60 marks and fails by 20 marks.


To find -

Find the maximum marks that can be obtained in the test .


Solution -


Let us assume that the maximum marks that can be obtained in the test is X .


Now ,


Required marks to pass -


=> 40% of the total marks -


=> 40% of x


Student -


He gets 60 marks and fails by 20 marks.


So , he needs ( 60 + 20 ) = 80 marks .


So. we can say that -


40% of X = 80



=> [ 40 / 100 ] x = 80


=> x = 200


Thus , the maximum marks that can be obtained in that test is 200 .


This is the required answer .
