Answer 2

Solutions :-

Given :
Raj requires 40% marks to pass in an examination.
Raj gets 185 marks.
He needs 15 marks to pass examination.

So, Pass marks = (185 + 15) = 200 marks


Let the maximum marks be x

According to the question,

=> 40% of x = 200
=> 0.4x = 200
=> x = 200/0.4 = 500


Hence,
Maximum marks of the exam = 500 marks
