Question

sonu lost 1 /3rd marks in exam and secured 20 marks.What were the maximum marks in the exam?​

Answer 1

It is given that Sonu lost 1/3rd marks in the exam and has secured 20 marks.

We have to find the total marks of the exam.

Let the total marks of the exam be x

Now, as per the question marks lost are 1/3rd

So the marks secured will be

1-1/3=2/3

So, according to the question

$\frac{2}{3} x = 20$

∴$x$ = 60/2

   = 30

So, maximum marks of the exam are 30.

Answer 2

It is stated that Sonu received 20 points after losing 1/3 of his scores in the exam.

We must determine the exam's total score.

Let's say the exam's overall score is x.

Now, according to the question marks, 1/3rd of the marks have been gone.

As a result, the marks obtained will be

1-1/3=2/3

As a result, in response to the question

60/2 = 60

30 %

As a result, the exam's maximum score is 30.
