In an examination it is required to get 40% of the aggregate marks to pass. A student gets 261 marks and is declared failed by 4% marks. What are the maximum aggregate marks a student can get?
Let the max aggregate marks = $$100x$$
The student gets 4% less than 40% = 36%
=> $$\frac{36}{100} \times 100x = 261$$
=> $$x = \frac{261}{36} = 7.25$$
$$\therefore$$ Total marks = 100 * 7.25 = 725
