In an examination it is required to get 45% marks to pass. Jaswinder secured 612 marks and failed by 108 marks. What are the maximum marks of the examination ?
Let the maximum marks be M
Since Jaswinder secured 612 marks and failed by 108 marks So she would have passed if she secured 612 +108= 720 marks
which is equal to 45% of the maximum marks
So
0.45M = 720
M =$$\frac{720}{0.45}$$ = 1600
So the maximum marks of the examination is 1600.
