A scored 44% marks and failed by 60 marks whereas B scored 74% marks, which was 90 more than the passing marks of the examination. Find the total marks of the examination.
Let the total available marks in the examination be 100x. Marks scored by A = 44% of 100x= 44x Marks scored by B = 74% of 100x= 74x According to question, => 44x + 60 = 74x – 90 => 30x = 150 => x = 5 Total marks of the examination = 100x = 500
