Question

For an examination it is required to get 36 % of maximum marks to pass. A student got 113 marks and failed by 85 marks. The maximum marks for the examination are :

Options:

A . 565

B . 550

C . 620

D . 500

Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
Let maximum marks be x, then,
${36 × x}/100 = 113 + 85 = 198$
$x = {198 × 100}/36 = 550$
Using Rule 24,
a = 36%, b = 113, c = 85
Maximum marks = ${(b + c)}/a × 100$
= ${(113 + 85)}/36 × 100$
= $198/36 × 100$ = 550
