In an examination a candidate must secure 40% marks to pass. A candidate, who gets 220 marks, fails by 20 marks. Find the maximum marks for the examination ?

Answer: Option C

According to the question,
Pass marks = (220 + 20) = 240
40% → 240
∴ Maximum marks (100%) :
= $$\frac{240}{40}$$ × 100
= 600
