Question

A student has to secure $35\%$ marks to pass. He got $80$ marks and failed by $60$ marks. The maximum marks are _________.

• A. $100$
• B. $200$
• C. $300$
• D. $400$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$400$

Let the maximum marks be $x$

$35\%$ of $x$ $=$ $80+60$

$\frac{35}{100}\times x$= $140$

$x=\frac{100\times 140}{35}=400$
