In order to pass in an exam a student is required to get 975 marks out of the aggregate marks. Piya got 870 marks and was declared failed by 7%. What are the maximum aggregate marks a student can get in the examination? |
A) 1500
B) 1000
C) 1200
D) Cannot be determined
E) None of the above
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
let the maximum aggregate marks be \[x.\] |
Passing percentage \[=\frac{975}{x}\times 100\] |
\[\therefore \]Failing percentage \[=7\]% |
i.e. 7%\[\times \,x\,=\,975\,-870\] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{7}{100}\times x=105\] |
\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\frac{105\times 100}{7}=1500\] |
