X scores 10% and fails by 30 marks. Y scores 40% marks and gets 30 marks more than the minimum marks needed to pass the exam. What are the maximum marks for the exam?

200

Passing marks (X) = 10% of total marks + 30 ---(1st)

Passing marks (Y) = 40% of total marks - 30---(2nd)

Putting the 2 equations equal to each other as the passing marks remains same

So,

10% of total marks + 30 = 40% of total marks - 30

60 = 30% of total marks

Total marks = \(\frac{60 }{30 }\) x 100 = 200 marks
