Solution
A question paper consists of 12 questions divided into 2 parts, one with 5 and the other with 7 questions.
A student has to attempt 8 questions out of the 12 questions by selecting at least 3 from each part.
∴ Required number of ways =\[{}^5 C_3 \times^7 C_5 + {}^5 C_4 \times^7 C_4 +^5 C_5 \times^7 C_3 = 210 + 175 + 35 = 420\]
