A student is required to secure at least 50% marks in order to pass an examination. He secured 50 marks which were less than the minimum passing marks by 50. The maximum marks of the paper are?
Correct Answer: 200
Explanation:
Minimum passing marks = 50 + 50 = 100
Let the total marks = x
Then, 50% of x = 100
⇒ x = (100/50) x 100 = 200
