Percentages - Quant/Math - CAT 2010


Question 4 the day: April 23, 2003

The question for the day is from the topic Percentages.

Question:
A candidate who gets 20% marks fails by 10 marks but another candidate who gets 42% marks gets 12% more than the passing marks. Find the maximum marks.

(1) 50
(2) 100
(3) 150
(4) 200
Correct Answer - (2)

Solution:


From the given statement pass percentage is 42% - 12% = 30%

By hypothesis, 30% of x – 20% of x = 10 (marks)

i.e., 10% of x = 10

Therefore, x = 100 marks.
