Download Solution PDFGiven:
John got 20% marks in an exam.
John failed by 10 marks.
Jack got 35% marks.
Jack got 20 more than the minimum passing marks.
Calculation:
As per the question,
35 % - 20% = 10 + 20
⇒ 15% = 30
⇒ 100% = 200
So, Pass mark = 200 × 20/100 + 10 = 50
So, Passing percentage = (50/200) × 100 = 25%
∴ The percentage of minimum marks required to pass is 25%
