Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum marks be X

ATQ,50+50=50% of X

or 100=50/100× X

or 100=X/2

or X=200

The maximum mark=200

Answer 2

Answer:

200 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

Anu scored 50 marks in the exam and failed the exam by 50 marks.

Hence, the pass marks of the exam is (50+50)=100 marks.

Again it is given that, someone has to secure 50% marks to pass the exam.

Hence, 50% ≡ 100 marks.

⇒ 1% ≡ 100/50 marks

⇒100% ≡ 2×100 marks i.e. 200 marks

Hence, the maximum marks of the examination i.e. 100% marks is 200 marks. (Answer)
