Solution

The correct option is A 12125
Given that there are 3 questions and each question has 5 possible answers.
The number of possible multiple choice combinations are 5×5×5=125
In each question , the probability of guessing correct is 15 and probability of guessing wrong is 45.
Out of 3 questions , the probability of getting two questions correct is 3C2×(15)2×45=12125
