In an examination, a student gets 25% marks and failed by 10 marks. In the same exam, another student gets 45% marks and thus he scored 50 marks more than the passing marks then find What could be the maximum mark a student can get in that exam? Correct Answer 300

Given:

A student gets 25% marks and failed by 10 marks.

Another student gets 45% marks and thus he scored 50 marks more than the passing marks. 

Concept used:

Using the concept of percentage

Calculation:

Let the total marks be 'x'.

According to the question,

25% of x + 10 = 45% of x – 50

⇒ 45% of x – 25% of x = 50 + 10

⇒ 20% of x = 60

⇒ x = (60 × 100)/20

⇒ x = 300 

∴ The maximum marks is 300.
