Question : An engineering student has to secure 25% marks to pass. He gets 47 and fails by 43 marks. What are the maximum marks for the examination?
Option 1: 385 marks
Option 2: 410 marks
Option 3: 360 marks
Option 4: 435 marks
Correct Answer: 360 marks
Solution :
Given: An engineering student has to secure 25% marks to pass.
He gets 47 and fails by 43 marks.
Passing marks = 47 + 43 = 90
If 25% is equivalent to 90 then,
100% is equivalent to (90 × 4) = 360
So, the maximum marks = 360
Hence, the correct answer is 360 marks.
