Question

Gautam requires 40% to pass. If he gets 205 marks, falls short by 35 marks , what was maximum marks he could have got?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let max marks be x

then x+40%=205+35

x+40%=240

x=240*100/40

x=600

Answer 2

maximum marks he could have got is 850

his paper is of 850 marks

Explanation

$passing \: marks \: are \: 40 \: percent \\ which \: means \: 205 + 35 = 340 \\ so \\ \frac{40}{100} \times x = 340 \\ x = \frac{340 \times 100}{40} \\ x = 850 \\ \\ \\ therefore \\ total \: marks \: of \: paper \: = 850$
