Correct Answer - Option 1 : 350
Given:
Cut-off Percentage = 40%
Marks scored by Ravi = 120
Marks by which the cut-off was missed = 20
Calculation:
Let the Maximum marks of the exam be ‘a’
According to the question,
⇒ Cut-off marks = 120 + 20
⇒ Cut-off marks = 140
⇒ 40% of a = 140
⇒ 40/100 × a = 140
⇒ a = 140 × 100/40
⇒ a = 350
∴ Maximum marks of the exam was 350
