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 $
