Question 159

In an examination it is required to get 350 of the aggregate marks to pass. A student gets 32% marks and is declared failed by 70 marks. What are the maximum aggregate marks a student can get?

Solution

Let the max marks in the exam = $$100x$$

Passing marks = 350

Now, acc to ques,

=> $$(\frac{32}{100} * 100x) + 70 = 350$$

=> $$32x = 350 - 70$$

=> $$x = \frac{280}{32} = 8.75$$

$$\therefore$$ Max marks = 100 * 8.75 = 875
