Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let maximum marks be 100 parts

60%-45%=15%

8+4=12

12 parts =15

1 part = 15/12= 1.25

100 parts= 1250

Answer 2

The maximum marks is 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total marks be x

Lava scored 45% and got 4 marks below the cut-off

So, Lava scored = 0.45x

He got 4 marks below the cut-off

So, Cut off marks = 0.45x+4

Kusha scored 60% and got 8 marks above cut-off

Kusha scored = 0.6x

So, cut off marks = 0.6x-8

$0.45x+4=0.6x-8\\12=0.6x-0.45x\\12=0.15x\\\frac{12}{0.15}=x\\80=x$

The maximum marks is 80.
