Question 16 Back to Exercise

An exam has two sections of 5 questions each. A candidate must answer 6 questions with at least 2 from each section. In how many ways can he choose?

  • A 210
  • B 150
  • C 252
  • D 200 Correct
Correct Answer: Option D

(2, 4): 10 × 5 = 50

(3, 3): 10 × 10 = 100

(4, 2): 5 × 10 = 50

Total = 200

Trap: 210 = 10C6 ignores the section rule.

Answer: 200
