    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ; Let the maximum marks of the exam be ‘100x’ Marks scored by Sunil = 100x × 0.46 = ‘46x’ Marks scored by Anil = 100x × 0.66 = ‘66x’ According to question: 46x + 65 = 66x – 45 Or, 66x – 46x = 65 + 45 Or, 20x = 110 Or, x = 5.5 Therefore, maximum marks of the exam = 100x = 100 × 5.5 = 550
