Question

In an examination , a student has to secure 48% marks to pass . If Rahul gets 247 marks and fails by 5 marks , what are the maximum marks ?

Answer 1

Let the maximum marks be $x$.

Therefore,

$\frac{48}{100}\times x=247+5$

$\frac{48}{100}\times x=252$

$x=\frac{252\times 100}{48}=525$

Therefore,

Maximum marks are $525.$
