Ajay secured 30% in an exam but fell short of the
passing mark by 60 marks, whereas Bijay scored 55% and exceeded the passing mark by 90 marks. Determine the passing marks.Solution
Let total marks be ‘x’ According to the question, 0.3x + 60 = 0.55x – 90 Or, 0.55x – 0.30x = 90 + 60 Or, 0.25x = 150 Or, x = 600 Passing marks = (0.30 × 600) + 60 = 240
