Question

In the examination a candidate must get 3/8th marks to pass, out of total marks.
Shyam appeared in the exam and got 300 marks and still failed by 36 marks. The
maximum mark is:​

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum marks is 896.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total or maximum marks be x

Passing marks = 3/8 of x = 3/8 × x = 3x/8

Marks Shyam got = 300

Failed by marks = 36

Therefore, 3x/8 - 300 = 36

Or, 3x - 2400/8 = 36

Or, 3x - 2400 = 36 × 8 = 288

Or, 3x = 2688

Or, x = 2688/3 = 896.(answer).
