A student has to secure 40% of the marks to pass an exam.
He gets only 45 marks and fails by 5 marks.
Calculation:
A student gets 45 marks and failed by 5 marks.
Passing marks = (45 + 5) = 50 marks.
Now, according to the question
⇒ 40% = 50
⇒ 100% = [(50 × 100)/40]
⇒ 125 marks.
∴ The maximum marks are 125.
