Question : 79 of 99

Marks: +1, -0

In a test a student got 30% marks and failed by 25 marks. In the same test another student got 40% marks and secured 25 marks more than the essential minimum pass marks. The maximum marks for the test were

Validate

Solution:

{ 40 x }/ { 100 } - { 30 x } /{ 100 } = 50

= { 10 x } /{ 100 } = 50

= x = { 50 × 100 }/ { 10 } = 500

Alternate:
M =30%, n=40%, p = 25 and q = 25
Maximum marks

= { 100 } /{ ( { n } - { m } ) } × ( { p } + { q } )

= { 100 } /{ ( 40 - 30 ) } × ( 25 + 25 )

= 500
