उत्तर
Given that question number 1 and 2 are compulsory
∴ The remaining questions are 5 – 2 = 3
Total number of questions to be attempted = 4 questions 1 and 2 are compulsory
So only 2 questions are to be done out of 3 questions
Therefore number of ways = 3C2
= 3C3–2
= 3 ......`[∴ ""^nC_r = ""^nC_(n - r)]`
Hence, the required number of ways = 3.
