In an examination 36% are pass marks. If an examine gets 17 marks and fails by 10 marks, what are the maximum marks?

A. 90

B. 75

C. 60

D. 55

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Pass mark = (17 + 10) = 27
Let maximum marks be x
Then 36% of x = 27
Or, $$\frac{{36{\text{x}}}}{{100}}$$ = 27
Or, 36x = 2700
Hence, x = 75
