Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Raman's score = 30% of Total Marks.
Passing marks = 60% of Total Marks.
Deficit in marks = 30 marks.
Percentage difference = 60% - 30% = 30%.
According to the problem, this 30% difference equals 30 marks.
So, 30% of Total Marks = 30.
Total Marks = 30 / 0.30 = 100.
Final Answer: Option 2 (100)
