Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. 40.8% / 40.8%
Explanationव्याख्या
Difference between the two candidates = 44% − 36% = 8%.
Difference in their marks = 24 + 16 = 40.
Thus 8% = 40, so total marks = 500.
Passing marks = 36% of 500 + 24 = 180 + 24 = 204.
Passing percentage = 204
500 × 100 = 40.8%.
दोनों अभ्यर्थियों के प्रतिशत का अंतर 8% तथा अंकों का अंतर 40 है।
अतः कुल अंक = 500।
उत्तीर्णांक = 180 + 24 = 204।
इसलिए उत्तीर्ण प्रतिशत = 204
500 × 100 = 40.8%।
