Question

in an exam, it is required to geet 40 percent of the maximum mark to pass. a student gets 175 marks and is declared failed by 25 percent. find the maximum marks

Answer 1

(75/100) a = 175
a = (175*100)/75 = (700/3)

(40/100) b = (700/3)
b = (700*100)/(40*3)
b = (7000/12)
b = 583.33

Answer 2

lets maximum marks be x

Student gets 15 % marks

so X × 15/100 = 175

X = 17500 / 15

X = 1166


M.M = 1166
