A student has to secure 35% marks to pass. He secured 650 marks and failed by 50 marks. Find the maximum marks.

Correct option is C

1. Given:

- A student needs 35% marks to pass.
- The student scored 650 marks but failed by 50 marks.
- We need to find the maximum marks.

2. Concept/Formula Used:

- To pass, the student should have secured:
650 + 50 = 700 marks
- The passing marks are 35% of the maximum marks ( M ):
700 = $$35\% \times M$$​
- Formula for percentage:
$$\text{Value} = \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} \times \text{Total}$$​

3. Solution:

- Using the formula:
$$700 = \frac{35}{100} \times M$$​
- Solve for M :
$$M = \frac{700 \times 100}{35}$$​
M = 2000.

4. Answer:

Option C: 2000
