    Explanation

    From Statement I,
    Marks scored by Sunil = 288 and marks scored by Raman = 288 - 128 = 160
    ? Maximum marks = 160 x100/25 = 640
    From Statement II,
    Minimum passing Marks = 160 + 64 = 224
    ? Minimum passing percentage
    = 224 x 100 /640 = 35%
    Hence, the data in both the statements necessary to answer the question.
