Question

In a test a student got 30% marks amd failed by 25 marks . In the same test another student got 40% marks and secured 25% marks more than the essential minimum marks. The maximum pass marks for the test were?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the maximum mark in the examination = x

* 40x/100 -30x/100 =50

* 10x/100=50

* x =50×100/10

* =500

Aliter: Using Rule 22,

m=30% ,n=40% , p=25 and q=25

,Maximum mark

* 100/(n-m)×(p+q)

* 100/(40-30)×(25+25) =500
