Question

In an examination minimum passing marks are 35% a student obtained in 400 marks and failed by 160 marks find the maximum marks

Answer 1

Answer:

1600 Marks

Step-by-step explanation:

Marks obtained by students = 400

Failed by 160 Marks

Passing Marks = 400 + 160 = 560 Marks

Let say maximum marks = M

Passing Marks = 35%

35 % Marks = (35/100) M

(35/100)M = 560

M = 56000/35

M = 1600

Answer 2

Total marks obtained by the student = 400

It is given that he/she failed failed by 160 Marks

Therefore, the passing marks=400 + 160 =560 marks

Let's say that the maximum marks = x

So, the passing marks = 35% (Already given)

35% of marks = (35/100)x

(35/100)x=560

x=56000/35

x=1600

$\huge\boxed\bigstar\sf\textsf{So the maximum mark is 1600}$
