Solution

The correct option is A 15
The total number of ways of ticking one or more alternatives out of 4 is 4C1+4C2+4C3+4C4=15
Out of these 15 combination, only one is correct.
The probability of ticking the alternatives correct at the first trail 115,
that at the second trail is 1415.114=115
and that at the third trail is 1415.1314.113=115
Then, the probability that the candidate will get marks on the question is he is allowed three trails is
