Solution

The correct option is B 15
The total number of ways of ticking the answers in any one attempt 241=15.
It is reasonable to assume that in order to derive maximum benefit, the three solutions which he will submit must be all different.
n= total no. of ways =15C3
m= the no. of ways in which the correct solution is excluded =14C3
Hence the required probability
=114C315C3=145=15.
