Thavi misses the first division (60%) by 30 marks find the maximum marks if thavi got 270 marks
To find the maximum marks, we need to determine the passing marks for the first division.
Let's assume the maximum marks to be M.
Given that Thavi got 270 marks and missed the first division (60%) by 30 marks.
60% of M = passing marks = 270 + 30 = 300
To find M, we can set up an equation and solve for it.
(60/100) * M = 300
Multiplying both sides by 100/60:
M = (300 * 100) / 60
M = 30000 / 60
M = 500
Therefore, the maximum marks for the examination is 500.
To find the maximum marks, let's start by understanding how the first division of 60% is calculated.
The first division is usually determined by the minimum marks required to qualify for it. In this case, Thavi missed the first division by 30 marks, which means Thavi's total marks fall short by 30 marks.
To calculate Thavi's total marks if Thavi had achieved the first division, we will add the 30 marks missed to the actual marks obtained by Thavi, which are 270 marks.
So, to find the maximum marks, we need to subtract the 30 marks from the actual marks obtained:
Maximum Marks = Actual Marks Obtained - Marks Missed
Maximum Marks = 270 - 30
Maximum Marks = 240
Therefore, the maximum marks would be 240.
