MCQ
Mark $(\checkmark)$ against the correct answer in the following: In an examination it is required to get $36\%$ to pass. A student gets $145$ marks and fails by $35$ marks. The maximum marks are:
  • A
    $400$
  • B
    $455$
  • $500$
  • D
    $600$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$500$
Let $x$ be the maximum marks.
Pass marks $= (145 + 35) = 180$
$\therefore36\%\text{ of } \text{x}=180$
$\Rightarrow\bigg(\frac{65}{100}\times\text{x}\bigg)=180$
$\Rightarrow\bigg(\frac{180\times100}{36}\bigg)=(5\times100)=500$
