In a test, minimum passing percentage for girls and boys is 35% and 40% respectively. A boy scored 483 marks and failed by 117 marks. What is the minimum passing marks for girls ?

A 625

B 525

C 425

D 325

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

Given 40% minimum passing marks for boys = 483 + 117 = 600
=> 1% = 600 \(\div\) 40 
=> 100% = 600 x 100 \(\div\) 40 = 1500
Minimum passing marks for girls = 35% of 1500 = 35 x 1500 \(\div\) 100 = 525.
