In an examination, a student who secured $25 %$ of the maximum marks fails by $60$ marks but another candidate who secures $45 %$ of the maximum marks gets $10$ marks more than required passing marks. The maximum number of marks is

The correct option is A $350$
By getting $25 %$ marks one fails by $60$ marks
By getting $45 %$ marks other get $10$ marks
more than required passing marks
Let maximum marks = x
ATQ
$(45 - 25) % o f x = 70$
$\frac{20}{100} x = 70$
$x = 350$
