Respuesta :

Given

Number of questions in an english exam = 10

Find

Number of different sets of 4 questions are available.

Explanation

as we have given that a student must choose 4 of the 10 questions.

so , number of different set of 4 questions are available =

[tex]^{10}C_4[/tex]

so ,

[tex]\begin{gathered} ^{10}C_4=\frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!} \\ \\ ^{10}C_4=\frac{10!}{4!6!} \\ \\ ^{10}C_4=\frac{10\times9\times8\times7\times6!}{4\times3\times2\times1\times6!} \\ \\ ^{10}C_4=\frac{5040}{24} \\ \\ ^{10}C_4=210 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Final Answer

Hence , the number of different sets of 4 questions are available are 210
