Question

In an examination Mohit got 30% of the maximum marks but failed by 25 marks. Another student who scored 38% got 15 marks more than the pass marks. The necessary pass percentage required is:
1. 50%
2. 35%
3. 34%
4. 53%

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 35%

Given:

Mohit got 30% marks and failed by = 25 marks

Another students scored 38% and he got more than pass marks = 15

Calculation:

According to the question

⇒ 30% + 25 = 38% – 15

⇒ (38% – 30%) = (15 + 25)

⇒ 8% = 40

⇒ 1% = 5 marks

Now,

5% = 25 marks 

Then,

The necessary pass percentage required = (30% + 5%)

⇒ 35%

∴ Required pass percentage is 35%
