Answer:

Maximum marks could have got are 500

Explanation:

Max got 190 marks that are 10 less than passing marks which are,

40 % 190 + 10 = 200

This means 200 is the passing marks,

To find the total marks we put the values in percentage,

Formula percentage = passing marks * 100/ total marks ,

So the total marks = passing marks * 100/ percentage total marks

= 200 * 100/40

= 200 * 10/4

=2000/4

=500 maximum marks.
