Question

In a test, a candidate secured 336 marks out of maximum marks x. If the maximum marks x had been converted into 400 marks, he would have secured 192 marks. What was the maximum marks of the test?

Options

• 700

• 750

• 500

• 650

Answer 1

700
Explanation :

∵ Percentage of marks scored by the candidates

= `192/400xx100`% = 48%

∴ 48% of x = 336

⇒ x = `(336xx100)/48=700`
