Question

Minimum marks required to pass examination are 40 . A student obtained 75 marks but failed by 45 marks. what are the maximum marks.

Answer 1

Answer: 300 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

Passing mark = (75+45) = 120

Passing mark = 40% of total marks

Let the maximum marks be y

$\frac{40}{100}$ × y = 120

y = 120 × $\frac{100}{40}$

∴ y = 300 marks

The maximum marks are 300.

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Maximum marks possible = ₹ 300

● Explanation -

Let x be maximum marks possible. Given that 40% of x marks are required to pass examination.

Also given that a student obtained 75 marks but failed by 45 marks. So 75 + 45 = 120 marks are required to pass.

40% of x marks = 120

x × 40/100 = 120

x = 120 × 100/40

x = 300 ₹

Hence, maximum marks possible is ₹ 300.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps...
