      Question

      In a certain examination, Neha got 46% and was 10 marks

      short of passing. Kunal got 52% and scored 8 marks more than required. What are the passing marks?
      A 152 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 162 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 148 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the total marks be 100x

      Neha’s marks = 0.46 × 100x = 46x

      Passing marks = 46x + 10

      Kunal’s marks = 0.52 × 100x = 52x

      Passing marks = 52x - 8

      So, 46x + 10 = 52x - 8

      ⇒ 6x = 18

      ⇒ x = 3

      Passing marks = 46x + 10 = 46 × 3 + 10 = 138 + 10 = 148
