    A 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 57 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 46 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let maximum marks = 100x ∴ 30x + 80 = 35x + 64 => 5x = 16 => x = 3.2 ∴ Max marks = 100x = 320 ∴ Minimum percentage marks to be pass = {[(30×3.2) + 80]/320} × 100 = 55%
