Question

in a test Rajesh got 112 marks which is 32 more than the passing marks Sonal got 75% marks which is 70 more than the passing marks what is the minimum passing percentage of the test.

Answer 1

Hi friend,

Here's your answer,

Marks Rajesh scored=112
Passing Marks=112-32=80

Let x be total marks
Marks Sonal scored=75% of x
=>75/100×x
=>75x/100

Number of Marks Sonal scored above passing marks=70
Marks Sonal scored=80+70=150

But we know, Sonal's marks=75x/100

Therefore,
75x/100=150
=>x=150×100/75
=>x=200

Therefore,
Minimum Passing Percentage=80/200×100%
=>40%

Hope it helps!!!!
