(A) Let the total maximum marks be $x$.Ram's marks $= 0.30x$. Since he failed by $15$ marks,the passing marks $= 0.30x + 15$.Aditya's marks $= 0.40x$. Since he obtained $35$ marks more than the passing marks,the passing marks $= 0.40x - 35$.Equating the two expressions for passing marks:$0.30x + 15 = 0.40x - 35$$0.10x = 50$$x = 500$ (Total marks).Now,calculate the passing marks:Passing marks $= 0.30(500) + 15 = 150 + 15 = 165$.Pass percentage $= (165 / 500) 	imes 100 = 33 \%$.

Ram scored $30 \%$ marks and failed by $15$ marks. Aditya scored $40 \%$ marks and obtained $35$ marks more than those required to pass. What is the pass percentage (in $\%$)?
