Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- let the maximum aggregate marks be $ x. $
Passing percentage $ =\frac{975}{x}\times 100 $
$ \therefore $ Failing percentage $ =7 $ %
i.e. 7% $ \times ,x,=,975,-870 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{7}{100}\times x=105 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{105\times 100}{7}=1500 $
