Question

In an examination Piyush scored $490$ marks. If he scored $70\%$ marks, find the maximum marks.

• A. 1400
• B. 700
• C. 730
• D. 640

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

700

Let us assume that the maximum mark be $x$

$\Rightarrow x\times \frac{70}{100}=490$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{490\times 100}{70}$

$\Rightarrow x=700$

Thus $700$ is the maximum mark.
