@Ankur:
It is just 0/1 knapsack problem:
Choose a subset of the questions with sum of scores not exceeding (Total Score - Pass Score), while maximize the sum of time of the subset.
So I do not think O(nlogn) greedy algorithm will solve this problem.

it is just like 0/1 knapsack problem with maximum weight of knapsack
as 40. but in this case that is minimum that we have to calculate.
calculate marks/time for every element . then try finding the elements
with max value/time to fulfill the quota of marks. i dont know if this
can be done in O(n) but it can be certainly done in nlogn. any other
views ?

Thanks for reply. I am looking for O(n) for solution.

Marks for Questions(1,6): {10,15,20,25,10,20}
Time for Each Questions(1,6) : { 2, 4,3,4, 2,4}
Passing Marks : 40 Out of 100
Find Questions with minimum time to pass the exam?

Please clarify the problem statement. Provide example.
 From the first view problem seems to be unclear.
