A candidate scores 20% and fails by 50 marks, while another candidate who score 40% marks, gests 30 marks more than the minimun required marks to pass the examination. Find the maximum marks for the examination.
Correct Answer: 400
Explanation:
Let the maximum marks be N. According to the question,
(20N/100) + 50 = (40N/100) - 30
⇒ 20N/100 = 80
∴ N = (80 x 100)/20 = 400
