Question Explanation
Text ExplanationVideo Explanation
Assuming the maximum marks =100a, then Meena got 40a
After increasing her score by 50%, she will get 40a(1+50/100)=60a
Passing score = 60a+35
Post review score after 20% increase = 60a*1.2=72a
=>Hence, 60a+35+7=72a
=>12a=42 =>a=3.5
=> maximum marks = 350 and passing marks = 210+35=245
=> Passing percentage = 245*100/350 = 70
