Solution
True/false questions can be answered in 2 ways either by making it true or false.
∴ each of the 5 questions can be answered in 2 different ways.
∴ total number of different sequences of answers
25 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32
Out of these one sequence is of correct answers and no student has written all correct answers.
Hence, the maximum number of students in the class
= 32 – 1
= 31
