      In an exam, Aman scored 60% marks and failed by 85 marks

      whereas Raj scored 80% marks in the same exam and scored 65 marks more than the passing marks. Find the maximum marks of the exam.

      B 750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 980 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ; Let the maximum marks of the exam be β€˜100x’ Marks scored by Aman = 100x Γ— 0.60 = β€˜60x’ Marks scored by Raj = 100x Γ— 0.80 = β€˜80x’ According to question: 60x + 85 = 80x – 65 Or, 80x – 60x = 85 + 65 Or, 20x = 150 Or, x = 7.5 Therefore, maximum marks of the exam = 100x = 100 Γ— 7.5 = 750
