Question
Rakesh scored 430 marks in an examination and Rasool got 72 percent marks in the same examination which is 70 marks less than Rakesh. If the minimum passing mark in the examination is 35 percent, then find the minimum passing marks in the examination?
Solution
Step 1: We know that Rasool scored 72% and that was 70 marks less than Rakesh's score of 430 marks. So, Rasool's score in marks is 430 - 70 = 360 marks.
Step 2: If 72% is equal to 360 marks, then 1% is equal to 360 / 72 = 5 marks.
Step 3: We know that the minimum passing mark is 35%. So, the minimum passing marks in numbers would be 35 * 5 = 175 marks.
So, the minimum passing marks in the examination is 175 marks.
