Percentage pass marks in Sainik School Entrance
Examination is 40%. A boy gets 60 marks and fails
by 80 marks. Find the maximum marks.​

Answer 1

Answer:

350

Step-by-step explanation:

If the boy gets 60 marks and fails by 80 marks then that means if he got the additional 80 marks then he would reach the passing marks.

So Passing Marks is 80+60=140 marks.

Now let maximum marks be x.

So,

If 40% of x = 140

=> (40 × x)/100 = 140

=> 40 × x = 140 × 100

=>40x = 14000

=>x = 14000/40

=>x = 350

Thus maximum marks is 350
