Q. |
In an examination, a student gets 30% and failed by 35 marks. Another student gets 45% which is 25 marks more than the pass mark. Find the pass mark. |
A. 400 |
|
B. 165 |
|
C. 155 |
|
D. 145 |
Percentage mark difference = 45% - 30% = 15%
Actual mark difference = 35 + 25 = 60 (difference of +35 & -20)
Hence 15 % = 60
45 % = 60 / 15 × 45 = 180
Pass mark = 180 - 25 = 155
