Answer:

Correct Answer: E

Solution:

  • According to passing percentage = 40%(boys) According to the question, $ x\times 40%=483+117 $ [If total marks = x]

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x\times \frac{40}{100}=600 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{600\times 100}{400} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=1500 $ Passing marks for girls $ =1500\times \frac{35}{100}=525 $
