Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to find out the pass percentage.

  1. We know that Rakesh scored 276 marks which is 15% more than the pass percentage. So, we can say that 115% of the pass marks is equal to 276.

  2. To find the pass marks, we can set up the equation: 115/100 * Pass Marks = 276. Solving for Pass Marks gives us approximately 240 marks.

  3. Now, we know that Lokesh scored 320 marks. To find out by what percentage above the pass mark he passed the examination, we subtract the pass marks from Lokesh's marks and divide by the pass marks, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

  4. So, (320 - 240) / 240 * 100 = 33.33%

Therefore, Lokesh passed the examination by approximately 33 1/3% above the pass mark. So, the answer is 4) 33 1/3%.
