Correct Answer: 720


Solution : Given: 40% are the passing marks. A student gets 250 marks yet fails by 38 marks.
Let the maximum marks be 100.
Then, the passing marks is $100×\frac{40}{100}=40$
Also, a student gets 250 marks yet fails by 38 marks.
So, the passing marks is (250 + 38) = 288
Here, 40 is equivalent to 288
So, 100 is equivalent to ($\frac{288×100}{40})=720$
Therefore, the maximum marks is 720.
Hence, the correct answer is 720.
