Question

A student has to secure minimum 35% marks to pass in an examination. If he gets 200 marks and fails by 10 marks, then the maximum marks are
1. 300
2. 400
3. 500
4. 600

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 600

Let the maximum marks by x.

According to the question,

\(35\% \;of\;x = 200 + 10 \Rightarrow \frac{{35x}}{{100}} = 210\)

\(\Rightarrow x = \frac{{210 \times 100}}{{35}} = 600\)
