Answer 1

Answer:

Please mark it as brainliest

150.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Marks scored by the candidate = 48.
• Marks required to pass = 48 + 12 = 60.
• Passing marks = 40%
• Let Maximum Marks = x.

Therefore, (40/100) * x = 60

• It implies, (2/5) * x = 60.
• It implies, 2(x) = 300
• It implies, x = 150.

Hence the maximum marks = 150.
