    A 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 57 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 46 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let maximum marks = 100x ∴ 36x + 90 = 38x + 72 => 2x = 18 => x = 9 ∴ Max marks = 100x = 900 ∴ Minimum percentage marks to be pass = {[(36×9) + 90]/900} × 100 = 46%
