Question

In an examination a girl secures 42% and passes the examination by 7 marks, find maximum & minimum marks of the examination, if the cutoff is 40%.

Answer 1

Total marks is 350 and pass marks is 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Marks Secured = 42% which is 7 more than Pass marks

Pass Percent= 40%

Let the total marks be x

So,according to the condition = 42% of x-40% of x=7

=> 2 % of x =7

=>2*x/100 =7

=> x= 7*100/2

=> x= 350

So total marks is 350 and pass marks is 40% of 350 =40*350/100 =140
