Ankit scored 25% of the total marks and failed by 15 marks in the examination. Had he scored 55% of the total marks, he would have got 15 marks more than the passing marks. What is the passing mark in the examination? Correct Answer 40

Let the total marks be 100x.

Passing marks = 25 x + 15 and 55 x - 15

25x + 15 = 55x - 15

30x = 30

x = 1

Hence, passing marks are 25 + 15 = 40.
