The ratio of marks obtained by Rohit in Mathematics to the marks obtained in Science is 8 : 7, the marks of English is 10% more than the marks obtained in Science and the marks obtained in Hindi is 10% less than the marks obtained in Mathematics. If each subject is of 100 marks and the sum of marks of English and Hindi is 149, then find the percentage of passing mark where the passing marks is 40 more than the marks obtained by Rohit in Mathematics.

Correct Answer 30%
Given:
The ratio of marks obtained by Rohit in Mathematics to the marks obtained in Science is 8 : 7
The marks of English is 10% more than the marks obtained in Science
The marks obtained in Hindi is 10% less than the marks obtained in Mathematics
Each subject is of 100 marks
The sum of marks of English and Hindi is 149
The passing marks is 40 more than the marks obtained by Rohit in Mathematics
Calculation:
Let the ratio be x
So, the marks obtained in mathematics and Science are 8x and 7x respectively
So, the marks obtained in English = 7x × 110% = 77x/10
And the marks obtained in Hindi = 8x × 90% = 72x/10
Now according to question,
77x/10 + 72x/10 = 149
⇒ 149x/10 = 149
So, x = 10
So, marks obtained in mathematics = 8 × 10 = 80
So, passing marks = 80 + 40 = 120
And the total marks of the examination = 4 × 100 = 400
So, the percentage of passing marks = 120/400 × 100%
∴ 30%
