Question

In an exam 40% marks are required to pass the exam . Rohit uses unfair means to pass the exam but fails by 20 marks . If he scored 220 marks ,then find the maximum marks​

Answer 1

Answer:

marks obtained by Rohit = 220

passing marks =220+20=240

rate of passing=40%

let the maximum marks be x

so actual maximum marks,

40% of x=240

40/100×x=240

x=240×100/40

x=600

Answer 2

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

Rohit scores= 220

He fails by= 20

Hence, total marks for passing the exam= 220+ 20=240

Let the total marks be x

A.T.Q- 40% of x=240

==> 40/100 ×x= 240

==> x= 240×100/40= 2400/4

==> x=600
