Question:
Tick (✓) the correct answer:
In an examination, Nitin gets 98 marks. This amounts to 56% of the maximum marks. What are the maximum marks?
(a) 75
(b) 150
(c) 175
(d) 225
Solution:
(c) 175
Let the maximum marks be $\mathrm{x}$. Then, we have:
$56 \%$ of $x=\left(x \times \frac{56}{100}\right)$
$=\frac{56 x}{100}$
Now, $\frac{56 x}{100}=98$
$\Rightarrow x=\left(98 \times \frac{100}{56}\right)$
$\Rightarrow x=175$
