    B 230 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total marks of the test be ‘x’ Therefore, marks scored by P = 0.26x Therefore, passing marks of the test = 0.26x + 25 Marks scored by Q = 0.44x Also, passing marks of the test = 0.44x – 26 Therefore, 0.26x + 25 = 0.44x – 20 Or, 0.18x = 45 Or, x = 45/0.18 = 250 Therefore, total marks of the test = 250
