    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 mark. 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 \[=20%\,\,\text{of}\,\,600+30=120+30=150\] \[\therefore \]      Required percentage \[=\frac{150}{600}\times 100=25%\]
