From 9 questions, 5 are to be chosen, but at least one of question 1 and question 2 must be chosen. How many selections are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 105

Use the complement principle because the condition says “at least one.” First count all selections of 5 questions from 9: C(9,5) = 126. Now count the invalid selections, in which neither question 1 nor question 2 is chosen. All 5 questions must then come from the remaining 7, giving C(7,5) = 21. Subtracting the invalid cases from the total gives 126 - 21 = 105. Therefore option A is correct. This approach automatically includes selections containing question 1, question 2, or both, without double-counting. The other options result from subtracting the wrong complement or from failing to impose the “at least one” condition.
