Raman scored 456 marks in an exam and Seeta got 54% marks in the same exam which is 24 marks less than Raman. If the minimum passing marks in the exam is 34%, then how much more marks did Raman score than the minimum passing marks?

A) 184

B) 196

C) 190

D) 180

E) None of these

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

[a] Let the total marks of the exam be x.

Then, \[x\times \frac{54}{100}=456-24\]

\[\Rightarrow \] \[x\times \frac{54}{100}=432\]

\[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{432\times 100}{54}=800\]

\[\therefore \] Minimum passing marks \[=800\times \frac{34}{100}=272\]

Hence, required more marks got by Raman

\[=456-272=184\]
