Question

Answer 1

YOUR ANSWER

—————————————————

Let the maximum marks be x.

Pass Marks = 1 2 0 + 8 5

= 2 0 5

Now,

$36\% \: \: of \: \: x = 205$

$= > \frac{36}{100} \times x = 205$

$= > 36x = 205 \times 100$

$= > x = \frac{205 \times 100}{36}$

$= > x = 569.44$

Hence, maximum marks = 5 6 9 . 4 4
