Question

In an examination a student has to secure 40percent marks to pass Rahul gets 178 Marks and fails by 32 marks what are the maximum marks?

Answer 1

If the student have to pass,he should get the mark 178 + 32 = 210(as he fails by 32,if he get 32 more to 178 he will pass exam)

40% mark is 210.
let the 100% mark is 'X'.

To find out maximum mark is,
40% of maxm mark=100% of 210

=> 40% of 'X' = 100%*210.
(40/100)X=(100/100)*210

=> 0.4X =210

=>X=210/0.4

=> X = 525

so maximum mark is 525

Or,

If 178 marks fails by 32 marks, that means a barely-passing grade is 178 + 32 = 210 marks. We're told that the minimum passing score is 40%, so 210 is equal to 40% of the maximum marks. In other words: 210 = 0.4 x 500 = x So, the maximum score is 525.
