I want to create an XML file like the above through C# serialization, what could be the class structure for this file ? So that it would generate desired XML file after serialization.

I am trying with this class structure - 

 public class Subjects
    {
        public string Subject
        {
            get; set;
        }
        public List<Questions> Questions
        {
            get; set;
        }
    }

    public class Questions
    {
        public string Question
        {
            get; set;
        }
        public string Answer
        {
            get; set;
        }
        public string Marks
        {
            get; set;
        }
    }

but it is not generating desired XML file after serialization using XMLSerializer.

    If you have Visual Studio: Copy the xml text, go to visual studio and open the edit menu, select paste special and choose paste as xml classes. – Silvermind Nov 30 '17 at 08:00

    Before asking, did you consider any specific answers yourself? What are the difficult aspects, do you think? It doesn't help that you haven't provided a complete XML file - what you've shown would have two root elements... – Jon Skeet Nov 30 '17 at 08:05
