Question

Mohan requires 35% marks to pass an examination. He scored 125 marks and failed by 50 marks. What are the maximum marks?

Answer 1

let maximum marks = x
so, mohan secures = 125
and failed by 50 , so marks required to pass
= 175
so, 35℅ of x = 175
35/100× X = 175
x = 175×100/35
x = 500 marks

Answer 2

$\large {\green {\sf {\underline {\underline {Step-by-step \: Explanation}}}:-}}$

Let the maximum marks be x.

Mohan secured 125 marks and fails by 50.

Pass marks = (125 + 50) = 175

$35\% \: of \: x = 175 \\ \\ → \frac{35}{100} \times x = 175 \\ \\ →x = \frac{175 \times 100}{35} \\ \\ →x = 500$

∵ The maximum marks are 500.
