Question


If CAT 2017 contains 150 questions and each question contains 5 options, find the total number of ways in which a student can answer atleast two out of 150 questions.


Options:
A .   5150601
B .   6150751
C .   4150601
D .   6150601
E .   can’t be determined
Answer: Option B
:
B

Option (b)


As a student may answer a question or he may not, So let’s verify the total chances that he can take with a question, i.e. He can take 6 chances with a question namely A,B,C,D,E or not answering it. So with every question he can take 6 chances. So total number of chances is 6150.


From this, we have to deduct these chances: - Total number of ways of answering zero questions as well as one question exactly, which is 1+(150×5)=751. So answer is 6150751.
