Answer 2

Let the maximum marks be x.

Given that he gets 178 marks and fails by 22 marks.

So, the minimum pass marks = 178 + 22 = 200.

Given that he has to score a minimum 40% marks.

= > 40% of x = 200

= > 40x/100 = 200

= > 40x = 20000

= > x = 500.

Therefore, the maximum marks = 500.

hope this helps!
