A person scores 45% of the total marks in the exam and still fails by 40 marks. The passing percentage of the exam is 55%. What is the maximum marks of the exam?
Let maximum marks = $$100x$$
=> Passing marks = $$\frac{55}{100} \times 100x = 55x$$
Marks scored =Â $$\frac{45}{100} \times 100x = 45x$$
According to ques,Â
=> $$55x - 45x = 40$$
=> $$x = \frac{40}{10} = 4$$
$$\therefore$$ Maximum marks = $$100 \times 4 = 400$$
=> Ans - (C)
