$\bf{\gray{\underbrace{\blue{ANSWER:}}}}$

As per the question,

Let the maximum no. of marks marks be x

Now,

In order to pass, student needs 145 marks +35 marks

more, hence minimum marks to pass is 180 marks.

Calculating maximum marks from passing percentage,

$\implies$36% = 180/x × 100

$\implies$x= 180/36 × 100

$\implies$x= 500

Hence, maximum marks are 500.
