Question

if an examination one required 40% marks to pass Rahul gets 185 marks and failed by 15 marks find the maximum marks

Answer 1

Hi...☺

Here is your answer...✌

★ Let the maximum marks be x

GIVEN THAT,

40% marks required to pass

=> Marks required = 40% of x


$= \frac{40}{100} \times x \\ \\ = \frac{2x}{5}$

Also given that,

Rahul gets 185 marks which is 15 marks less than the passing marks


$= > \frac{2x}{5} - 15 = 185 \\ \\ = > \frac{2x}{5} = 185 + 15 \\ \\ = > 2x = 200 \times 5 \\ \\ = > x = 100 \times 5 \\ \\ = > x = 500$

HENCE,

Maximum marks of the examination is 500.
