Question

in a examination a candidate who scores 20% of the maximum marks fails by 40 marks another candidate scores 45% OF THE maximum marks get 10 marks more than necessary for passing.


find the maximum passing marks and percentage require for passing.​​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let maximum Marks be M and pass Marks be P

20%M = P-40

.2M = P-40

P= .2M+40

45%M= 10+P

.45M = 10+.2M+40

.25M = 50

M = 200

P =80

passing % is 40%of maximum Marks (80 is 40%of 200)
