SSC MTS 6th July 2022 Shift-1

- The candidate scored 83 marks.

- The candidate failed to qualify for the Category B job by 25 marks.

- This means the score needed for Category B is 83 + 25 = 108 marks.

- The qualifying percentage for Category B is 45%.

- So, 108 marks represent 45% of the total marks.

- To find the total marks, we can set up the equation: 108 = 0.45 * Total Marks.

- Solving for Total Marks: Total Marks = 108 / 0.45 = 240.

- The minimum qualifying percentage for Category A is 25%.

- Therefore, the minimum qualifying marks for Category A: 0.25 * 240 = 60.

- Thus, the correct option is Option 2: 60.
