UP Police Constable Exam Model Paper 3

Given:
Students get 60% of maximum marks
Formula used:
Percentage = (Part value/Original value) × 100
Calculation:
Let the total marks = 500
Students scored 60%
⇒ 500 × (60/100)
⇒ 300
Students scored marks = 50% more than the passing marks
⇒ passing marks × (150/100) = 300
⇒ passing marks = 200
Passing marks percentage of maximum marks
⇒ (200/500) × 100
⇒ 40%
∴ The passing mark is 40%.
