Question

Geeta scored 30% and failed by 50 marks, while Sandeep who scored 45% marks, got 25 marks more than the minimum marks required to pass the examination. How many marks did Vimal get if he scored 64% marks ?
1. 320
2. 436
3. 500
4. 256

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 320

Calculation: 

Let the total marks be = x

According to the question:

30% of x  + 50 = 45% of x  - 25

⇒ 75 = 15% of x

64% of x = 75 /15 × 64 = 320

∴ The required marks by Vimal = 320
