Solution

When each question has more than 1 correct answer.

Selecting the correct choice from the 4 choice can be done is

4C1 or 4C2 or 4C3 or 4C4 ways.

4C1 = 4 = 4C3 

4C1 = `(4 xx 3)/(2 xx 1)` = 6

4C4 = 1

4C1 + 4C24C3 + 4C4 = 4 + 6 + 4 + 1

= 15

Each question can be answered in 15 ways.

Number of questions = 5

∴ Total number of ways = 155
