Question : A candidate who gets 20% marks in an examination, fails by 30 marks. But if he gets 32% marks, he gets 42 marks more than the minimum pass marks. Find the pass percentage of marks.

Option 1: 52%

Option 2: 20%

Option 3: 25%

Option 4: 12%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25%


Solution : Let the maximum marks be $x$.
So, the passing mark = 20% of $x$ + 30
Also, the passing mark = ($\frac{32}{100} × x) - 42$
According to the question,
($\frac{20}{100} × x)+30$ = ($\frac{32}{100} × x) - 42$
⇒ ($\frac{12}{100} × x) = 72$
