In a test, minimum passing percentage for reserved and unreserved category is 40% and 54% respectively. A candidate from unreserved category secured 300 marks and failed by 24 marks. What are the minimum passing marks of reserved category in that test ?
Let the Total marks is 'T' .
The unreserved guy got 300 but failed by 24 marks i.e. his pass mark is 300 + 24 = 324 .
Given that , the pass mark for unreserved guy is 54% of the total . i.e. $$\frac{54}{100}$$T = 324.
We get , T = 600 .
Also given that the pass mark for reserved guy is 40% of the total .i.e. {40/100}* 600 = 240.
