In an examination it is required to get a minimum of 340 marks in aggregate to pass. A student gets 244 marks and is declared failed by 12% of the total marks. What are the maximum aggregate marks a student can get?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Passing marks = 340
A student secured = 244
Student failed by = 340 - 244 = 96 marks
ATQ,
12% of the total marks = 96
\(\frac{12}{100}\) × the total marks = 96
Total marks = 96 × \(\frac{100}{12}\) = 800
