Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 47.
Vikram scored 32 percent marks in an exam and failed by 15 marks
Marks needed by Vikram to pass the exam = 32% + 15
If he scores 57 percent marks, then he gets 10 marks more than passing marks = 57% - 10
Now,
⇒ 32% + 15 = 57% - 10
⇒ 57% - 32% = 15 + 10
⇒ 25% = 25
Thus, Maximum marks will be 100% = 100 marks
Now,
Passing marks for the exam = 32% + 15
⇒ 32 + 15 = 47 marks
