Back to paper

A student scores 75% on a test and gets 30 marks more than another student who scored 60%. What are the maximum marks in the test? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 200.

Given that

Marks scored by first student = 75 percent

Marks scored by the second student = 60 percent  

Let the total marks in the test be x

According to the question

75100\frac{75}{100} × x = 60100\frac{60}{100} × x + 30

Solving for x we get

x = 200

Hence, the total marks in the test are 200
