Question:

A candidate scores 25% and fails by 30 marks, while another candidate scores 50% and passed by 20 marks. Find the maximum marks for the examination.

Options:

200

300

250

400

Correct Answer:

200

Explanation:

Let total marks/maximum marks = M

Pass marks

⇒ (M × 25%) + 30 = (M × 50%) - 20

⇒ (50% - 25%) M = 30 + 20

⇒ 25% of M = 50

⇒ M = 200
