In a test, minimum passing percentage for girls and boys is 30% and 45% respectively. A boy scored 280 marks and failed by 80 marks. How many more marks did a girl require to pass in the test if she scored 108 marks ?
(a) 132 (b) 140 (c) 160 (d) 112 (e) None of these
(a) Total marks in the test = (280 + 80) x 100 /45 = 800
Passing marks for girls = 800 x 30/100 = 240
Required marks
= 240 – 108 = 132
