Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. let the maximum marks be x
2. As the passing is 40% that will be the required passing marks.
3. so,passing marks=x×40%=2x/5
4. now as the student gets 178 marks and fails by 22 marks.
5. therefore passing marks=178+22=200,but passing marks=2x/5
6. therefore=2x/5=200,on solving we get x=500 that is the maximum marks
