In an examination, a student's average marks were 63. If he had obtained 20 more marks
for his Geography and 2 more marks for his history, his average would have been 65.
How many subjects were there in the examination?
Let the number of subjects = x
Then, Total marks he scored for all subjects = 63x
If he had obtained 20 more marks for his Geography and 2 more marks for his history,
his average would have been 65
=> Total marks he would have scored for all subjects = 65x
Now we can form the equation as 65x - 63x = the additional marks of the student = 20 + 2 = 22
=> 2x = 22
=> x = 11
