Question
In an examination, a candidate secured 125 marks and failed by 15 marks. If the pass percentage was 35%; find the maximum marks.
Solution
Total marks secured = 125
Failed by 15 marks
∴ Pass marks = 125 + 15
= 140
Let Maximum marks = x
∴ `(x xx 35)/(100)`
= 140
⇒ x = `(140 xx 100)/(35)`
= 4 x 100 = 400
Hence maximum marks = 400
