A student gets 177 marks yet fails by 55 marks. If the passing mark is 29%, then what is the maximum mark?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Total marks required to pass = 177 + 55 = 232
Passing Percentage = 29%
Therefore,
29% of Maximum Marks = 232
Maximum Marks = \(\frac{232}{29}\) × 100 = 800
