\nThe total marks that could have been obtained is 120*5\u00a0= 600<\/p>\n
\nLet the quantity of good quality wheat to be added be X.
\nSo, $15 = \\frac{5}{100}*(150+X)$
\nOr, $300 = 150+X$<\/p>\n
\nWe get , T = 600 .
\nAlso given that the pass mark for reserved guy is 40% of the total .i.e. {40\/100}* 600 = 240.<\/span><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/media\/uploads\/5710.PNG\")
