In a test, minimum passing percentage for girls and boys is 35% and 40% respectively. A boy scored 483 marks and failed by 117 marks. What is the minimum passing marks for girls ?
Correct Answer: 525
Explanation:
Given 40% minimum passing marks for boys = 483 + 117 = 600
=> 1% = 600/40
=> 100% = 600 x 100/40 = 1500
Minimum passing marks for girls = 35% of 1500 = 35 x 1500/100 = 525.
