Question

In an Test, Shivam has to secure 45% marks to pass. He secured 255marks and failed by 15 marks. Find the maximum marks.

Answer 1

Maximum marks = 600

Step-by-step explanation:

• It is given that;

Shivam has to secure 45% marks of maximum marks, to pass. It means, if he gets below 45% marks, he will be failed.

• He secured 255 marks. But failed by 15 marks.

• It means, he got 15 marks than the pass boundary.

• In other words, we can say, if we add 15 marks in his current marks, he will get the passing marks or 45% marks of maximum marks.

• In the terms of mathematics, we can write as;

• Shivam marks + 15 = 45% of maximum marks

       $255 + 15 = maximum \ marks \times \dfrac{45}{100}$

        $\dfrac{270 \times 100}{45}$= maximum marks

        Maximum marks = 600

Thus, maximum marks = 600 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:pass marks in text =45%

shivam got 255 marks but fails by 15 marks

pass marks = 255+15=270

45% of total marks= 270

Total marks= 270/ 45× 100

= 600
