Correct Answer - Option 1 : 64%
Given:
Overall qualifying marks percentage = 50%
Total marks = 200 + 150 = 350
Calculation:
Total marks to be needed to qualify the exam 50% of the overall marks.
⇒ 50% × (200 + 150)
⇒ (1/2) × 350 = 175
Marks Secured in first paper = 40% of 200
⇒ 200 × 40/100 = 80
Remaining marks to be secured = 175 - 80 = 95
According to the question,
⇒ (95/150)× 100
⇒ 63.33% or 64%
∴ The required percentage of marks is 64%
