A student scored 45% marks in the first paper and 55% in the second paper. If the maximum marks in each paper are equal and he scored 250 marks in total, what are the maximum marks of each paper?
A. 200
B. 250
C. 275
D. 225
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Let max per paper = M. 0.45M + 0.55M = 1.0M = 250 → M = 250.
Explanation:
Third = 100, first = 130, second = 145. Ratio = 130:145 = 26:29. Wait, 130/145 simplifies dividing by 5 gives 26:29. So ratio 26:29. Option A is 26:29. So answer A. But I had B as 13:15. So I'll set A 26:29. Correct_answer A.
