Question

Siddharth got 40% of the maximum marks in an vxamination and failed by 10 marks however udit who took the same examination got 60% of total marks and got 15 marks more than the passing marks what were the passing marks in the examination

Answer 1

Let x is the max mark of the exam

Marks of Siddharth = 40 x /100
Given that he failed by 10 marks

max pass mark = 10 + (40 x /100) 

Marks of Udit = 60x /100
Given that he got 15 marks more than pass mark

minimum pass mark = (60 x /100) - 15

From, these

10 + (40x/100) = 60 x /100 - 15

25 =  x/5

x= 125 = max marks

min pass mark = 60 x/100 - 15 = 60
