Let maximum mark be x and minimum mark be y.
 
25% of maximum mark = (25/100)x = x/4 = y-30 ..............(1)
50% of maximum mark = (50/100)x = x/2 = y+20 ...........(2)
 
subtract eqn.(1) from eqn.(2), we get    x/4  = 50  or  x = 200
 
substituting value of x in eqn.(1), we get y = 80
 
hence maximum mark is 200 and minimum mark is 80
