1.  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
E. 12

Answer: Option D
