In an exam paper, one question is chosen from 2 in section A, two questions from 4 in section B, and one question from 3 in section C. The first two questions of section B cannot be chosen together. How many selections are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 30

The independent choices from sections A and C contribute 2 and 3 possibilities respectively. In section B, the number of unrestricted pairs is C(4,2) = 6. Exactly one pair, namely the first two questions, is forbidden, so 6 − 1 = 5 valid pairs remain. By the multiplication principle, the total number of complete selections is 2 × 5 × 3 = 30. Therefore option B is correct. Counting all six pairs without removing the prohibited pair would give 36, which is the likely distractor. The restriction concerns only section B and does not affect the choices in sections A or C.
