Correct Option
Explanation
Winner gets 55%, loser gets 45%. Difference = 10%. 10% of total votes = 200. Total votes = 200 / 0.10 = 2000.

An engineering student has to secure 45% to pass. He gets 54 marks and fails by 36 marks. Find the maximum marks.
A. 150
B. 180
C. 200
D. 250
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Passing marks = 54 + 36 = 90. So, 45% of maximum marks = 90. Max marks = 90 / 0.45 = 200.
7393
A scored 30% marks and failed by 15 marks. B scored 40% marks and obtained 35 marks more than required to pass. The pass percentage is?
A. 33%
B. 35%
C. 38%
D. 40%
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Difference in % = 10%. Difference in marks = 35 - (-15) = 50. Total marks = 500. Pass marks = 30% of 500 + 15 = 150 + 15 = 165. Pass percentage = (165/500)*100 = 33%.
7394
In an examination, 80% candidates passed in English and 85% in Mathematics. If 73% passed in both, what % failed in both?
A. 5%
B. 8%
C. 10%
D. 12%
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Passed in at least one subject = Pass Eng + Pass Math - Pass Both = 80 + 85 - 73 = 92%. Failed in both = 100% - 92% = 8%.
7395
To pass an examination, a student needs 33% marks. He gets 220 marks and fails by 11 marks. Find total marks.
A. 600
B. 700
C. 800
D. 900
Discuss

Correct Option
Explanation
Passing marks = 220 + 11 = 231. We know 33% of Total = 231. Total = 231 / 0.33 = 700.
7396
In an examination, 60% of students passed in Math, 70% in Science, and 10% failed in both. If 300 passed in both, what is the total number of students?
A. 600
B. 750
C. 800
D. 1000
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Let total be 100%. Passed in at least one = 100% - 10% (fail both) = 90%. Passed in both = (Pass Math + Pass Science) - Pass at least one = 60 + 70 - 90 = 40%. Given 40% = 300, so 100% = (300/40) * 100 = 750.
7397
In a test, A scored 10% more than B and B scored 5% more than C. If C scored 400 out of 500, what are A's marks?
A. 450
B. 462
C. 472
D. 480
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
C = 400. B scored 5% more than C = 400 + (5% of 400) = 400 + 20 = 420. A scored 10% more than B = 420 + (10% of 420) = 420 + 42 = 462.
7398
A candidate scores 25% and fails by 30 marks, while another scores 50% and gets 20 marks more than the minimum pass marks. Find the maximum marks.
A. 150
B. 200
C. 250
D. 300
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Difference in % = 50% - 25% = 25%. Difference in marks = 20 - (-30) = 50. So, 25% of total = 50. Total = 50 / 0.25 = 200.
7399
In an exam, 35% students failed in Hindi, 45% failed in English, and 20% failed in both. What percentage passed in both?
A. 30%
B. 35%
C. 40%
D. 45%
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Total failed = Failed in Hindi + Failed in English - Failed in both = 35 + 45 - 20 = 60%. Passed in both = 100% - 60% = 40%.

A student gets 30% marks and fails by 15 marks. Another gets 40% and passes by 15 marks. What are the passing marks?
A. 90
B. 105
C. 120
D. 150
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Difference in percentage = 40% - 30% = 10%. Difference in marks = 15 - (-15) = 30. So, 10% of total = 30. Total = 300. Passing marks = 30% of 300 + 15 = 90 + 15 = 105.
