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

(4) 200
Correct Answer - (2)
Solution:
From the given statement pass percentage is 42% - 12% = 30%
