A student has to secure minimum 35% marks to pass in an examination. If he gets 200 marks and fails by 10 marks, then the maximum marks are

Let the maximum marks be x.
According to the question,
35% of x = 200 +10

	100

⇒ x =	210 × 100	= 600

Aliter : Using Rule 24,
a = 35%, b = 200, c = 10
Maximum Marks

=	100 × (b + c)
	a

=	100 × (200 + 10)	= 600 Marks
