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 $
