Question

In an examination, it is required to get 36% of the maximum marks to pass. A student gets 123 marks and is declared failed by 39 marks of the examination

Answer 1

passing % = 36%

a student get 123 marks and fail by 39 marks.

so the student required 123 + 39 = 162 marks

so 36% = 162 marks
1% = 162/36
total marks
100% = 162× 100 / 36
= 450

so total marks = 450
