WBCS Main Examination 2023 — Paper VI: Arithmetic and Test of Reasoning · Question 89 of 200

Q89
ArithmeticPercentage, Profit & Loss
A student gets 29% marks of an examination but fails by 24 marks. If the pass percentage is 35%, the maximum marks are
  1. a.200
  2. b.300
  3. c.400
  4. d.500

Answer: (C) 400

The gap between 35% and 29% is 6% of the maximum, and it equals 24 marks. So the maximum is 24 ÷ 0·06 = 400. With 300 marks, 6% would be only 18.
