Correct answer: (A) 440
Let maximum marks = M and pass marks = P. 0.25M + 68 = P and 0.50M − 42 = P. Equating: 0.25M + 68 = 0.50M − 42 ⟹ 110 = 0.25M ⟹ M = 440.

सही उत्तर: (A) 440
अधिकतम अंक M और उत्तीर्ण अंक P मान लें। 0.25M + 68 = P और 0.50M - 42 = P। समीकरण बराबर करने पर: 0.25M + 68 = 0.50M - 42 ⟹ 110 = 0.25M ⟹ M = 440।
