| Understanding/Application |
|
Anita scored 31% and failed by 16 marks and Sunita scored 40% and got 56 marks more than passing marks. Difference of marks = Difference of percentage 40% - 31% = 56 + 16 (Anita failed and Sunita passed so marks will be added) 9% = 72 marks 56 marks = 9 × 56/72 = 7% |

Minimum passing percentage = 40% - 7% = 33% 7% = 56 marks 33% = 56 × 33/7 = 264 marks |
