Answer: B

The student gets 178 marks and fails by 22 marks. This means the passing marks are 178 + 22 = 200.

Let the maximum marks be M.

We are given that the passing mark is 40% of the maximum marks.

So, 40% of M = 200.

\(0.40 \times M = 200\).

\(M = \frac{200}{0.40} = \frac{2000}{4} = 500\).
