    Amit achieved a score of 28% in an exam but fell short by 42 points to pass. Rahul, on the other hand, secured 41% in the same test and exceeded the passing score by 36 marks. What is the passing score for this examination?

    D 225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
