A student has to obtain 33% of the marks to pass. He got 125 marks and failed by 40 marks. The maximum marks are

A    1000

B    800

C    500

D    300

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

 

Given that the student got 125 marks and still he failed by 40 marks

=> The minimum pass mark = 125 + 40 = 165

Given that minimum pass mark = 33% of the total mark

=> Total Mark×(33/100)=165

=> Total Mark=16500/33 =500
