Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 56 

Given:

A candidate got 84 out of 120 in Section A and 40 out of 150 in Section B.

There are three sections A, B, and C in an examination and it is necessary to get at least 40% of the total marks to pass the exam. 

Calculation:

According to the question,

⇒ 40% of (120 + 150 + 180) = 40% of 450 = 180

⇒ 84 + 40 + C = 180

⇒ C = 180 - 124

⇒ C = 56 

∴ The marks C is 56.
