Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Let the total marks of the exam be x. Then, $ x\times \frac{54}{100}=456-24 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x\times \frac{54}{100}=432 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{432\times 100}{54}=800 $

$ \therefore $ Minimum passing marks $ =800\times \frac{34}{100}=272 $

$ \therefore $ More marks got by Raman $ =456-272=184 $
