In an examination, a pupil’s average marks were 63 per paper. If he had obtained 20 more marks for his Geography paper and 2 more marks for his History paper, his average per paper would have been 65. How many papers were there in the examination ?(a) 8 (b) 9 (c) 10 (d) 11

Answer»

Answer is: (d) 11.

Let there be n papers in all. 

Total marks originally for n papers = 63n 

Total marks with increased average = 65n 

Given, 65n – 63n = 20 + 2 ⇒ 2n = 22 ⇒ n = 11.
