For a candidate to clear an examination, he/she must score 55% marks. If he/she gets 120 and fails by 78 marks, the total marks for the examination is
300
360
400
320
Explanation:
Here the mark obtained by the candidate is 120 and the candidate fails by 78 marks.
Therefore the passing marks is (120+78) = 198
Let the total marks be x. Then,
=> 55/100 $\times$ x = 198
=> x = 360.
