In an examination, Nitin gets 98 marks. This amounts to 56$\%$ of the maximum marks. What are the maximum marks ? (a) 75 (b) 150 (c) 175 (d) 225

Answer 1

Nitin gets = 98 marks and
it is 56$\%$ of total marks
Let the total marks be $x$ then 56$\%$ of $x$=98
$\Rightarrow \frac{56}{100}\times x=98$
$\therefore$ Total marks x = $\frac{98\times 100}{56}$=175
