Question

A student has to score 40% marks to pass the exam . He got 178 Marks and failed by 22 marks . Find the maximum number of Marks.

Answer 1

The maximum mark is 500.

The mark student Has got is 178
Needed 22 marks more for not failing in the examination

So the student getting pass mark is 178 + 22 = 200.

The Student Need only to get 40% of the total marks

So 178+22 is the pass mark( that is 40% of total marks)

40% mark is 200. Then LetLthe 100% mark be 'X'.

To find out maximum mark ,

=> 40% of 'X' = 100%*200.

=> X = (200*100%)/40%.

=> X = 500.

That is The Maximum Mark Is 500

(we can Crosscheck it. That is 500 × (40/100) Gives 200, that is the passmark) so the answer is perfectly Correct As per the Question.
