Answer 2

Answer:

660 is the maximum mark

Step-by-step explanation:

The student fails by 14 marks so they must have scored 14 more to have passed the exam

So,

250 +14=264

therefore, 40% of maximum marks =264

Let the total no. of marks be y

40% of y= 264

= 40 x y = 264

100

=40y=264x100

40y=26400

y = 26400

40

y=660

Statement: the maximum marks of the exam is 660
