Download Solution PDFGiven:
Pass percentage of an examination is 35%.
A student who got 210 marks failed by 14 marks.
Formula used:
Pass Marks = Maximum Marks × Pass Percentage
Calculation:
If the student failed by 14 marks, then the pass marks = 210 + 14 = 224
⇒ 224 = Maximum Marks × 35/100
⇒ Maximum Marks = 224 × 100 / 35
⇒ Maximum Marks = 22400 / 35
⇒ Maximum Marks = 640
∴ The correct answer is option (1).
