In an exam,a candidates secured 256 marks out of maximum mark of M. if the maximum mark M is converted into 900 marks he would have secured 512 marks. what is the value of M?

$\red{\underbrace{Solution:-}}$

Let the maximum mark be $x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{256}{x} =\frac{512}{900}$

$\Rightarrow x= \frac{256 \times 900}{512}$

$\Rightarrow x =\frac{230400}{512}$

$\Rightarrow x = 450$

Maximum mark = 450
