Solution

Given question n has n + 1 choices

question 1 has 1 + 1 = 2 choices

question 2 has 2 + 1 = 3 choices

question 3 has 3 + 1 = 4 choices

question 4 has 4 + 1 = 5 choices

question 5 has 5 + 1 = 6 choices

question 6 has 6 + 1 = 7 choices

question 7 has 7 + 1 = 8 choices

question 8 has 8 + 1 = 9 choices

question 9 has 9 + 1 = 10 choices

So the number of ways of answering all the 10 questions

= 2 × 3 × 4 × …. × 11

= 11! ways
