Question

in an examination students must get 30% marks to pass a student who gets 160 marks fails by 5 marks find the maximum marks

Answer 1

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the total marks that can be scored in the exam , so passing marks = 30% of x.

A Student fails by 5 marks , when scored 160 , so , passing marks = 165.

so, equating the passing marks ,

we get x , which indeed is max. marks,

so , $30*(x)/100=165$

and x= 550,

thus max. marks =550

best of luck buddy and don't forget to rate me!

Answer 2

Passing percentage=30℅
since the student failed by 5 marks
therefore- passing marks=160+5=165
let the total marks be x
I.e. 30% of x=165
30/100* x=165
x=(165*100)/30=550 marks
