2. 45 %
3. 30 %
4. None of these

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : None of these

Given,

Rajesh got marks = 112 which is 32 marks more than the passing marks 

Sonal got   =  35 % which is 70 marks more than the passing marks 

Formula Used 

Percentage = (actual/Total) × 100

Calculation

Let maximum marks be N

⇒ 75N/100 - 70 = 112 - 32

⇒ 75N/100 = 80 + 70

⇒ 75N/100 = 150 

⇒ N = 200 

passing marks = 112 - 32 =80

(Rajesh got 112 marks which is 32 more than the passing marks )

⇒ minimum passing marks percentage 

⇒ (80/200) × 100% = 40% 

∴ the minimum % of passing marks is 40 %
