      Question

      A student named Pooja secured 42% and failed by 15 marks,

      while her classmate Ramesh scored 54% and got 21 marks more than required. What is the passing mark?
      A 152 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 162 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 141 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Assume total marks = 100x

      Pooja's marks = 0.42 × 100x = 42x

      Passing marks = 42x + 15

      Ramesh’s marks = 0.54 × 100x = 54x

      Passing marks = 54x - 21

      So, 42x + 15 = 54x - 21

      ⇒ 12x = 36

      ⇒ x = 3

      Passing marks = 42x + 15 = 42 × 3 + 15 = 126 + 15 = 141
