Question

In an examination, the pass mark is $\frac{4}{9}$ of the total marks. If Rajnish scores 45% out of a total of 810, by how much does he exceed the pass mark?

• A. 5
• B. 10
• C. 4.5
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is C

4.5

Total marks in the examination = 810

Passing mark = $\frac{4}{9}\times$ 810 = 360

Rajnish's score = $\frac{45}{100}\times 810$ = 364.5

$\therefore$ Rajnish has scored 364.5 - 360 = 4.5 marks more than the passing mark.
