Mike needs 30% to pass. If he scored 212 marks and falls short by 25 marks, what was the maximum marks he could have got? Select the correct option:
A) 343	B) 677	C) 790	D) 867	E) 932

Rationale: "if mike had scored 25 marks more , he could have scored 30 % therefore , mike required 212 + 25 = 237 marks let the maximum marks be m . then 30 % of m = 237 ( 30 / 100 ) × m = 237 m = ( 237 × 100 ) / 30 m = 23700 / 30 m = 790 answer : c"
