    A candidate who gets 20% marks in an examination fails by 30 marks but another candidate who gets 32% gets 42 marks more than the pass marks. Then, the percentage of pass marks is

    A) 52%

    B)  50%

    C)  33%    

    D)  25%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Difference of percentages of maximum marks obtained by two candidates \[=32%-20%=12%\] Difference of scores between two candidates \[=30+42=72\] \[\therefore \] 12% of maximum marks = 72 \[\therefore \] Maximum marks \[=\frac{72\times 100}{12}=600\] \[\therefore \] Pass marks = 20% of 600 + 30 \[=120+30=150\] \[\therefore \] Required percentage \[=\frac{150}{600}\times 100=25%\]
