Question

Candidate A secured 25% of the total marks and failed by 60 marks. Another candidate B
secured 40% marks and got 30 marks more than the minimum passing mark. Find the total
marks and the pass percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

first according to solution the equation form is 1 upon 4 x + 60 is equals to 2 upon 5 x minus 30 the next step is 60 + 30 = 2 X upon 5 minus 1 upon 4 x then we will take the LCM of 5 and 4 that is equals to 90 equals to 8 x minus 5 X upon 20 now in the second step the equation form is 1800 equals to 3 x means the value of x is 600 now 40% of 600 is 240 -30 that is equals to 210 that means the passing marks are 210 now if we talk about the total mass the 40% of the Y means the total marks is 240 send the equation form is 40 Y upon 100 equals to 240 that means the value of why is 600 now the 210 upon 600 into 100 that is equals to 35 means the passing percentage is 35% total marks are 600 marks and your passing percentage is 35%

Answer 2

Answer:

25% of total+60=pass mark

40%  of total-30=pass mark

⇒25% of total+60=40%  of total-30

⇒15% of total=90

⇒total=90*100/15=600.

Now pass mark=25% of 600 + 60=150+60=210

or, 40% of 600 -30=240-30=210

So pass percentage = 210/600*100=210/6=35%
